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?

I'm actually working on Packet over Radio (HF and VHF) since this
wonderful storm. My cell phone was used as a hotspot while I waited for
the landline to return. I have my own Ham domain and an IP address in
the 44 block. All I need now is a dedicated VHF (or HF) rig to make
this permanent.
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
allocations out of net 44 nowadays?
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)

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. ;)

I still like the idea of UUCP / POTS links. IIRC, Sampsa or Steve had something going along these lines a while back. Not sure if it ever got off the ground?!?

Update: I have 2 modems to try from that I can find
1). A winmodem
2). A Conexant HSF modem
who thinks I can get one of these working in MS-DOS? MS-DOS on a HT P4 with 1G RAM anyone?
I know it's not a UNIX but maybe the driver will show me a serial port I can attach a simulator to?

It is MECCA, node 61.4. The login is "10,1" and the password is
"hecnet", sans brackets and quotes.
FORTRAN, BP2, and C are installed.
Log in and have fun!
Oh, and remember, from VMS, you'll need to be coming from a pre-8.x
machine (as far as I can tell), using "SET HOST/APPL=RTERM MECCA". You
may need to hop through something.
Johnny, maybe you can test login from an RSX system?
Works, just like Oleg reported. However, why is the date set to 1999 on that system? It's RSTS/E V10.1, that should be Y2K capable.
I also had a chance to notice that RSX (apparently like VMS) tries CTERM first, and when that fails, it falls back to trying RTERM. However, it tries the RSX flavour, which also fails.
But RRS works fine.
