Well I'm happy to inform that CHIMPY is back up again - there's a couple of captive accounts available (one gateway to my BBS with some games and FidoNet) and one offering VT100 tetris.

Bob,
I would like to talk to you about this offline when you have the time.
This cluster should be more than capable of this kind of activity,
besides it could be FUN! I have never set something like this up and
could use some guidance.
-Steve

If I remember right, it was/is Robert Armstrong who had that up and
running.
LEGATO used to relay email between HECnet (using MAIL11) and the
Internet/SMTP, but I quit doing that last fall when I switched
registrars.
There's no reason I couldn't - I just never bothered to set up the
necessary domain name and mail routing again.
It was pretty much never used, even by me - after all, everyone with a
HECnet connection already has an Internet connection.

I don't have a current use for HECnet other than the novelty of being connected. I just got my SIMH VAX back up and running, now on a dedicated virtual host running under ESXi. I need to tweak my IP address and send that to Bob to update my MultiNet circuit.
I'd love to get it to the point that I've got a guest account for people to play what games I've got installed (including a collection of Infocom games I put on there).

Is there any magic involved in bridging LAT?
Not much. Both ends must just add the other remote end to the [LAT] section in my bridge.conf file. :-)

Johnny,
Could you expand on the "mail bridge"? That sounds useful.

It basically meant that you could send mail to anyone on the Internet from anyone on HECnet, and vice versa. You just need to know the correct syntax for the mail address.
I'll leave it to Robert to expand on this, if he still have the gateway up. I haven't tried it in over a year now.
Johnny
Thanks.

Hi,
I was wondering what use everyone is making of HECnet. My environment
(DECnet area 19) has just come up. Johnny and I have done simple tests and everything that we have tried so far seems to work quite
well.
Comments?
For me, I use it a lot to transfer files between my own systems and MIM
(and occasionally other systems as well).
I occasionally use it for mail to some people as well (once in a while,
we even have a mail bridge to the internet, which is fun).
And of course, on MIM, there is a guest account for anyone to play.
And then I use LAT and MOP a lot, both for printers and terminal

What else...? Hmm, it's a way to keep in touch with other odd people who
thinks this kind of stuff is fun.

Of course if MONK was up, the CGI script that shows the status of HECnet
would have most of this info.
That's a service I miss once in a while. :-)
Let's hope you get things together soon, Zane.
