Being serious for a moment, what about mailman?
No objections here. Mailman could also give us pipermail archives.
Seconded. Mailman is good. I dumped Majordomo about ten years ago
for Mailman. I run half a dozen lists on it here.
We could also set up a little UUCP and NNTP on UNIX VMs network ;)
link them together with simh's serial line emulation and simulate
modems...unless we do KERMIT crontabs.
I have a Usenet feed here. Very nearly a full feed, but no binaries.
I could forward it along if we do something like this.

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)
I don't do any ham stuff but I could probably get interested in HECnet over HF packet. I'd need licensed, gear, and knowledge though. ;)

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?

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?
