I could forward it along if we do something like this.
Count me in as interested. (I am also part of the informal uuhec uucp network already established).

got off the ground?!?
Was this UUHecnet? I saw a web page about that. Is that going
anywhere? If so, count me in!

Being serious for a moment, what about mailman?
No objections here. Mailman could also give us pipermail archives.
Seconded. Mailman is good. I dumped Majordomo about ten years ago
for Mailman. I run half a dozen lists on it here.
We could also set up a little UUCP and NNTP on UNIX VMs network ;)
link them together with simh's serial line emulation and simulate
modems...unless we do KERMIT crontabs.

I've been out of ham radio since...well, the last time I was licensed,
the Kantronix KPC-2 was a current product. ;) Who is handling

Want to do some testing, when things calm down? I can do HF or VHF.
(or microwave, given some time...I have a strong interest there, and
lots of gear)
I don't do any ham stuff but I could probably get interested in HECnet over HF packet. I'd need licensed, gear, and knowledge though. ;)

Is there a way to do FIP calls from that Forth implementation?
Definitely. In the unsupported directory there should be odt.fth,
which should show that. There is also sda.fth, but that's a lot
bigger and more complex, partly because it completely redefines the
Forth guts to be 32-bit instead of 16-bit...
I don't seem to have odt.fth. I have sda.fth though. Do you have
odt.fth online somewhere?

Dude, we have a UUCP network ready to go lol: http://www.uuhec.net/
I had no idea this already existed. How did I miss this?!

I still like the idea of UUCP / POTS links. ...
I would attempt this if I had modems that weren't just soft modems.
Might be able to use them if any of you know of any nice software for use
on a BSD with them.
You guys do know that there exists UUCP, et al, for VMS? No need to use
Unix. Or maybe I missed the original point?
Mmm, good point. As it seems UUCP also runs on DOS, CP/M, and Mac OS as well so it might make more sense to modify the plan to also include other OSes. ;)
