I tried to write a script on a Linux-DECNET box to get such a directory but it broke something on BQT's systems. Broke and broke... You managed to spam my logging. For some reason you managed to trigger logs for trying to access machines that were not up, if I remember correctly... Johnny IM's are slightly different, as I'm sure you're aware. The benefits to phone are: - You are notified when your buddies log on, anywhere on HECnet - You can control who can message you (i.e. buddies only) sampsa On 17 Jan 2013, at 17:46, Cory Smelosky <b4 at gewt.net> wrote: On 17 Jan 2013, at 10:38, Jordi Guillaumes i Pons <jg at jordi.guillaumes.name> wrote: El 17/01/2013, a les 16:09, sampsa at mac.com va escriure: Any interest in this type of service, i.e. something like Jabber/Gtalk but over DECNET?
