Yes, very quiet. I?m also starting to think about Retrochallenge. This time I think I
might combine my ham radio hobby with my retro hobby. I?m going to try to get a VAX to
connect to HECnet using DStar ID-1 radios that act as 128kbps ethernet bridges. From my
reading, they are true bridges, so should be able to transport non-IP protocols. I suspect
this is the first time anyone will have tried to deliver DECnet over DStar :)

I'm starting to ramp up for Retrochallenge January 2015.
I've bought an ESP8266 NodeMCU wifi board with a view to hooking up a Tandy Model 102
to the internet. It's effectively a serial->tcp/ip converter. Very cool and 10 quid
delivered off eBay.
I also created a character map for the Tandy 100/102/200 with a view to using it to
convert Tandy-format files to Unicode, so I can write my Retrochallenge blog using the
Tandy 200.
