2.1.1 What other mailing lists of interest are there?
There are lots of other mailing lists that may be be of interest
to SCA people. Here is a listing of some of them. To subscribe,
send mail to LISTSERV@<host address>, where <host address> is the
part of the address for the list you're interested in that comes
after the @ sign. The mail should have nothing in the subject line,
and the body of the message should consist of nothing more than
SUB <listname> <yourname>
where <listname> is the name of the mailing list you are subscribing
to (the part *before* the @ sign) and <yourname> is your name. Many
of these lists are places where modern-world scholars communicate,
and therefore are not places where persona is appropriate -- use
your modern name.

2.2 Are there archives of SCA information that I can access?
Yes. There are several sites that contain various files of SCA
information, including this file, Corpora, the Heraldic Rules for
Submission, the Online Armorial, several kingdom's laws, rules for
combat, and so on. Each site has a different collection of
material, so you may need to investigate more than one to find what
you need. Contact your local system administrator to learn how to
use anonymous FTP to retrieve these files. Those without FTP access
should send e-mail to mail-server@rtfm.mit.edu with "send
usenet/news.answers/finding-sources" in the body to find out how to
do FTP by e-mail.

maintained by wew@naucse.cse.nau.edu (Bill Wilson)
bransle.ucs.mun.ca [134.153.2.24] directory /pub/sca
maintained by andrew@bransle.ucs.mun.ca (Miklos Sandorfia)
2.3 Does anyone have a contact in ...
The best way to find a contact in a particular area or group is
to look in the Rolls Ethereal.
2.4 What are the Rolls Ethereal?
The Rolls Ethereal list people on the Rialto, at least name and
electronic address, and often interests, location, and awards. The
Rolls are maintained by Justin du Coeur (justin@inmet.camb.inmet.com)
and are distributed at intervals of anywhere from 6 to 12 months. They
are available for anonymous FTP access at bransle.ucs.mun.ca.
2.5 What's this alt.sca I found?
The first SCA newsgroup was named alt.sca. When the traffic grew
to a respectable size, we moved to rec.org.sca because the rec
hierarchy gets better distribution. alt.sca is currently defunct, but
still carried at some sites. We recommend that users of alt.sca move
over to rec.org.sca, and ask their system administrator to remove
alt.sca from their system, to avoid future confusion.
2.6 Where can I get songs and lyrics?
There are a number of sites that archive song sources. Many of
these are dial-up sites, requiring the use of a modem. Please do
not ask for technical help with this on the Rialto -- there are sure
to be better sources of this information close to you.
