I don't think I ever got the code, but I remember you working on it. Yes, it would be nice to have.

You might want to put a link to madame.update.uu.se/~bqt/nodedb in there, Mark. My small hack on MIM to service the HECnet nodename database. Also, the topography stuff would be nice in there... But yeah, some resource information in there could be useful. Not entirely sure what a useful form would look like though. Feel free to experiment some. I might create something on MIM, but I totally suck at any layout work, or visual work in general.

By the way, the hecnet.eu page says the bridge has to run on Unix. I have ported it to Windows as well. I can't remember if I ever sent the code to Johnny though. Johnny, do you want the code?

What does my router do to break your mapper? If I know it might be something I can fix.
