The Boston Network Users Group
This is a temporary website until Wordpress site is repaired.
The Boston Network Users Group (BNUG) provides an educational and technical forum for anyone interested in computer networking, computer support, and related topics. Our free monthly meetings are opportunities to meet technical professionals, expand your knowledge, and get better at what you do or want to do. BNUG was founded in 1986 and has never charged member dues (nor do we plan to; we are grateful that some members are able to donate to support the group).

We won’t get upset if the email message isn’t entirely blank, we promise.
The list is closely monitored, it’s for group announcements only.
