Scratch GeoHolics Net from Australia. Artie dropped the connection
because of lack of interest (i.e. he and I seemed to be the only ones
reading the messages and the interest in German files was also limited.

GeoNet Australia has this Fido echo, comp.os.geos (gated from the
Internet) and local Geiga and GeoChat echoes as well. That gives
Australians a good selection of the messages and files available from
bulletin boards in four states, Geiga's printed newsletter and the
Geoworks Snail Mail Network with hubs in all states (except Victoria)
and New Zealand. Unfortunately, we have now lost the "Your Computer" and
"Aus PC Review" columns - I'm not even sure the "Aus PC Review" is still
in business as I've only seen two issues this year and none since June.
Given Australia's small installed Ensemble user base, I think we are
pretty well served.
