+It is now possible to JOIN a group and have network wide conferencing to that
+group. DXSpider does not (and probably will not) implement the AK1A 
+conference mode as this seems very limiting, is hardly used and doesn't seem
+to work too well anyway.
+
+This system uses the existing ANN system and is compatible with both other
+DXSpider nodes and AK1A clusters (they use ANN/&lt;group&gt;). 
+
+You can be a member of as many "groups" as you want. To join a group type:-
+
+<tscreen><verb>
+  JOIN FOC    (where FOC is the group name)
+</verb></tscreen>
+
+To leave a group type:-
+
+<tscreen><verb>
+  LEAVE FOC
+</verb></tscreen>
+
+You can see which groups you are in by typing:-
+
+<tscreen><verb>
+  STAT/USER
+</verb></tscreen>
+
+and you can see whether your mate is in the group, if he connects to the
+same node as you, by typing:-
+
+<tscreen><verb>
+  STAT/USER g1tlh
+</verb></tscreen>
+
+To send a message to a group type:-
+
+<tscreen><verb>
+  CHAT FOC hello everyone
+</verb></tscreen>
+
+or
+
+<tscreen><verb>
+  CH #9000 hello I am back
