Mail lists are on the move
Interex operates mail list servers that host groups such as the MANMAN ERP mailing list, which was discussing how to continue its communications on alternative servers once the Interex systems go dark. After a few days the MANMAN customers found a new hope for their mailing list. CAMUS, the ERP-based user group with several hundred members, is hosting the MANMAN list. Although CAMUS can lay claim to only a fraction of the 100,000 users Interex claimed to have had when it closed, the smaller group has enough resource to help out HP customers. Non-CAMUS members will be able to join the MANMAN list, since many of the MANMAN users have finite plans for their use of the ERP package.
David Floyd, administrator of the Interex MANMAN list, reports "I am pleased to announce that CAMUS, formerly ASKUS, the Computer Applications for Manufacturing Users Society has agreed to change their policies to allow all MANMAN Users to subscribe to their excellent and long lived listserve. I am sure you will all be as pleased with it as you have been with Interex's MANMAN list.
"Below are instructions for using the CAMUS MANMAN LISTSERVE, including subscription instructions for anyone else you know who may wish to join us. Following that is a message from the CAMUS Executive Director.

Message from the CAMUS Executive Director
On behalf of the CAMUS Board of Directors we are pleased to be able to host the MANMAN Listserve. Previously this Listserve was a benefit that only CAMUS members enjoyed. However, in light of the recent circumstances we felt that it was important to open this up to all MANMAN Users.
We realize that these are somewhat uncertain times for many companies. Many who do not plan to follow the migration of MANMAN/MK into SSA ERP LN. At this time, we’re not sure how their needs will be served by the new SSA user group. Therefore, the CAMUS Board of Directors has decided that CAMUS will remain in existence until we are assured that all of our members are being supported.
