I think we should have a HECnet CTERM interface to this too :) Sampsa On 17 Dec 2012, at 17:54, Bob Armstrong <bob at jfcl.com> wrote: I've asked majordomo which doesn't confirm or deny, but it seems that there is no digest mode for the HECnet list.

Need disk space for some VAX work? KUHAVX/SIIRI might be useful..

You know we already had this setup, right? -brian On 12/17/2012 10:43 AM, sampsa at mac.com wrote: That would probably work.

That would probably work.

digest mode

by phil＠rephil.org

Hi, guys - I've asked majordomo which doesn't confirm or deny, but it seems that there is no digest mode for the HECnet list. Can someone else confirm or deny? Thx, Phil M -- "There is some truth in your fiction, and some fiction in your truth." -- Animatrix

I would be up for this. Maybe try to get a US based one and a EU based one. I'm mostly interested as my free colo deal is likely going away. If it doesn't, I can get all that stuff running on wiggum. -brian On 12/17/2012 10:32 AM, sampsa at mac.com wrote: I'm up for helping out in any way needed.
