But I'm almost a bit surprised that noone have really stepped up with multinet links
in the US. Is there really noone with the resources and ability to connect potential new
people?

I?m able to support it, but until I migrate off the VAXstation, I can?t guarantee uptime.
If it gets too hot, the system has to be shutdown. It might be spring, but we?re already
seeing disturbingly hot days.

However, for the US, it would be nice if we could identify a location on each coast,
which have a capable system, and normally is always online, and which have a good
bandwidth, and would be willing to setup connections to new machines that want to come
online.
So, are there any takers? I'll continue to be the first point of contact when people
come asking, but I'd be happy if I could redirect them to the appropriate person once
we have figured out a few basic details.
And then these two persons can work on establishing the actual link.
I?m not quite
ready, but I?m headed in the direction of being able to do this, and I?m on a 50Mbit
commercial line. Today PDXVAX is a VAXstation 4000/60. I?ve been planning to migrate it
to SIMH running on a RPi3+. Once it is migrated, I can keep it online during the summer
(which I can?t today). I just need to figure out how I want to image the drive. I run
your bridge on my Firewall, and I have MultiNet running on PDXVAX, but I don?t think the
Multinet link is active anymore.
My primary issue is finding time to work on this. I?m still trying to get my primary VMS
system migrated to a SIMH cluster (since the primary is a Compaq XP1000/667, not
everything can move).
