  Welcome!  This is a short periodic post about how the post-polio
 internet resources are organized, and about how to access the
 information that's available.

  There is an excellent reference area that can be accessed via
 WWW at:

  There is a newsgroup named alt.support.post-polio. You can subscribe
 to this like any other newsgroup. The charter for the newsgroup is
 available at the above WWW site.
 
  There is an active mailing list listserv that can be joined by
 sending an e-mail to  listserv@sjuvm.stjohns.edu  with a blank
 subject line and

  The mailing list and newsgroup are linked so the same information is
 available on either. The mailing list has an archive facility if you'd
 like to look at previous postings. There is also an online archive of
 previous postings to the mailinglist/newsgroup maintained by Ron Stone

  There is a list of recent medical articles on post-polio syndrome at:
                http://execpc.com/~epwoll/medindx.html
 
  Don't be hesitant to post questions or comments. If you need
 information, would like to share an experience, or would just
 like to say Hi, that's what this is all about. There're a lot
 of knowledgeable and friendly folks around here.
