Dude, we have a UUCP network ready to go lol: http://www.uuhec.net/

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.

Don't forget we'd need an ERP to maintain list subscribers, their contacts and equipment.

Good question. I'm not sure if the (old version of) majordomo we're
running have that function.
hah.. we are running the latest version of majordomo, which is > 10
years old. I've patched it to work with later perl versions. But now I'm
trying to stay out of it. There has been talk of giving majordomo the
boot and install something else.

What about Micro$oft .NET ? :) (ducks)
Just kidding of course.
Being serious for a moment, what about mailman?
Mailman is what we've been looking at as the most likely replacement.
Whenever we get around to it.. :)

Thanks!
(unrelated: but I see there's a DARMOK and JALAD in the nodelist, are they by chance virtual machines running on a host named TANAGRA? ;) )
Database updated.
