I can do eastern US like I did the bridge. I have to finish the Tex build though...

(although it stays the same most of the time...), and as it's running at home im
willing to run a bridge but i cannot guarantee uptime

My connection to Hecnet is thru your site with your bridge program. It runs on a Fedora
(17) system that also hosts A44RTR.
None of my systems run Multinet, and A44RTR runs VAX/VMS V7.3 and DECnet phase IV. It may
be converted to run phase V if that would help you.
My internet connection is ADSL2+ which translates to 11 Mb/s downstream and less than 400
kb/s upstream. Not bloody useful as a hub, then again Netherlands is not exactly in
southern Europe.

Guys. I figure I should try to get a more formalized handling of connections to HECnet.
With my bridge, it's mostly just people connecting to me, but this is not a solution
that scales very well, so in general I now try to discourage people from this option. When
possible, I prefer to move people away from it.
Multinet on the other hand scales well. And is possible to use directly both in VMS and
RSX. However, it is silly and inefficient if all multinet links are to go to me. So
I'm thinking about identifying a few people/places elsewhere in the world, which can
be used for connections where it makes more sense for a somewhat closer point of
connection.
So, I would go on dealing with Europe. Might at some point be that we'd like a second
point in the south of Europe, but that is not a high priority right now.
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.
