Hypermail with swiss-e looks very nice! But, it does not seem like a solution
in a DEC setting...

There has to be something where we can just import the messages and has a browse/search function. Sticking all this in an SQL database would be pretty simple with an ORM + Python, but I hate writing web front ends.

I ran a SEARCH and it wasn't too bad..
Might try a DIR or something next - I wonder what a DIR or SEARCH over DECNET would do :)

Onderwerp: [HECnet] Stuck on a dynamic IP but want to run the bridge? I've got a solution
Basically my network in Hila's Internet connection is a HSUPA cellular router (relatively fast 15/6mbps or so) but the operator does not give me a static IP.
So I decided to VPN into my network in London, assign each VPN account a specific static IP and run the bridge over the VPN.
It's been working great for about a year now - so anybody who needs a bridge connection and can run pppd is welcome to link up with me.

You guys think it might be an idea to export these in some format and make them searchable? Can I say put 12,000 text files on CHIMPY and let people use the SEARCH command to look for specific keywords (i.e. will the performance be reasonable)?
Alternatively, I suppose I could build some quick web app for browsing/searching the mails (authenticated of course, don't want the whole world to see our list).
Any ideas?
It's something similar that I had in mind to do at some point. My only "problem" is that I also keep some "private" mails related to HECnet in the same folder, so I should sort that out. I have something close to 16.000 mails in my archive.
I think it would be nice if you did something, but I have no clear idea how it should be done.

it was left over from a silliness when IBM wrote the bios roms on the AT. they packed h:c:s codes in two 16 bit integers. in thoses days
a 5.25 st-506 drive maxed out at 20M.
dec is using 19" SMD technology that are maxing in 500M range at the same time.
PC technology used to take lots of short cuts like that and the folks were proud of it because they had not experienced anything like dec or the mainframe for that matter
remember the 8" floppy was invented by IBM as a way to store and load the microcode on the original Winchester (aka 3030) disk
the PC guys take it and use it as a storage device.
