Hi all --- Taxacom is kind of a generic name for a bunch of services. So taxacom includes a listserver, a gopher and also a BBS. At the time, Taxacom as a unity is in a state of some flux. One of the originators and maintainers has passed his duties to others while he pursues other matters. The listserver is located at harvarda.harvard.edu. To subscribe, mail to [log in to unmask] with the usual information. Mail to [log in to unmask] to post to the list. The taxacom gopher is commonly called the Biodiversity and Biological Collections Gopher, and is now located at muse.bio.cornell.edu. As far as I know, the Taxacom FTP site is still located at huh.harvard.edu. Hope this helps.
