     Your board may not carry all these conferences.    If you spot a
conference you would like, ask your sysop.   The numbers listed below
reflect the national conference number,  those on your bulletin board
may be different.  Also, some networks that we share conferences with
do not allow or have the capability for  *Private* or *Receiver Only*
messages, due to software differences.  Please check with the Host of
the Conference to make sure that such capabilities are available.

     The following conferences are available  to all  *RelayNet (tm)*
members.     The message traffic ratings are listed immediately below
