I'm sure we can work this out so that you can turn them back on.
I'm all about privacy, but worrying about it in this context (a
private hobbyist VPN) does seem kinda silly.

Is that OK with you?
Thanks - that addresses the concerns I have.
I hope that anyone who already has a file called INFO.TXT in place will be ok
with the new significance it takes on.

Oooooh! Mapping! Do you mean a map of all HECnet nodes and how they
interconnect?
I've been fiddling with drawing a map of sorts. It's pretty crude, and
it's not generated using DEC software (boo hiss!), but here's a look at
the current output:

This is what I could reach earlier this afternoon from GATE18.

So, is anyone familiar with the NICE protocol at all?
Not me.
However, consulting the world's largest data mining operation turns up the
following which might give some insight into using it from VMS:

Barring that, does anyone know if there is a NICE client (ala NCP) for DECnet on Linux?
Thanks,

I thought there is one, but I may be misremembering. The spec is in the network management architecture document in the DECnet architecture documents set. It's pretty simple.

And I very much prefer digests - for the reasons Bob mentioned - it's
just easier to manage, particularly for high volume like this one.
So how do you skip a thread that you feel is irrelevant, if you have a plain straight text digest?

It sends the digest in html with the messages sorted by
subject and a
table of contents at the top. Just scan the list of topics and
click on any
that you're interested in (conversely, don't click on any that
you aren't!).
Likewise, the web archive displays a tree view of messages
by thread.
Well, that fails it for me then. I hate html formatted mail even more...

The emails themselves aren't actually HTML formatted (unless they were that way to start) it's just wrapping them in a web page.
