Anybody want to see if we can get two Linux boxes to talk X.25 over TCP with each other?
I believe that Cisco routers and DECNet-Plus supports this as well, could be funny to run our own virtual PSDN :)

While I did have an account on Deathrow, I was not all that familiar with
the users thereof.
The encourage security research, it attracts a certain type of person that I don't want on my LAN (trust me, I used to be a penetration tester :) )
EISNER (the DECUServe machine named after the late Dan Eisner) has many
users who have been long time DECUS members -- some more than 30 years
members. The NOTES conferences there maintain a wealth of information
going back in excess of 25 years.
Which is exactly why it'd be so awesome to have them be part of HECnet. It's a great system, very active, lots of smart users.

I think a few hundred DEC enthusiasts connected to HECnet via EISNER =

What do you guys think?
I wouldn't mind. But who would you contact about that?
I have admin privies there; however, I thing you'd first want to talk it
over with Dale Coy (email: EISNER::COY).

Thanks for the name, Brian. I'll see if I can write something this weekend.

Eh... EISNER have a web interface to NOTES...
Is this hard to install on a NOTES system or is it a custom thing they built?
Found the package they're using, doesn't look too tricky to get going..

I don't know, I suppose the EISNER sysadmin team.
They have DECNET installed but I don't think it's talking to anything, would be very cool to get them on HECnet, there's like 10+ logged in users right now, active.
