Item: Correspondence to Crackerjack Kid listing possible ways to go on-line with the Telenetlinkcongress as a way to contact artists in the telematic community; "The advantage to using the WELL is that it acts as a gateway to other systems on a global basis. I use Internet primarily to connect to BITNET in Europe. And there is the UNIX NEw service, USENET. Art Com has an alternative newsgroup on USENET called alt. artcom. That is a great way to connect with artists and those interested in electronic art, because it has a potential of reaching 29,000 USENET sites globally."
