Sampsa, there is no substitute for real iron :-) That said, the area router is a simh VAXserver 3900. No use to run it without a "working system". If it helps in checking the HECnet statistics then I'll run it! Verzonden vanaf mijn BlackBerry 10-smartphone.

Could always run a few emulated boxes, but I guess it's not the same thing.

So it doesn't make sense to keep the bridge up and running. So that's two systems less (at least). BTW actually the electricity didn't get that much dearer, taxes went up.

So I ran a simple script that tried to get the executable characteristics of a node, for each node in the nodedb. I was surprised to see that only 33 systems seemed to be online. I thought there would've been more up. Any way, here's the list of nodes that were shown as up: ALEPH AXPEE B4GATE BIGV7K BUBBLE DS20 EBOLA ERSATZ FRACK FRICK GLGMSH GORVAX HALO HILANT HPIVAX JOCKE K4VX2 KRYLBO KUHAVX LABVAX MAISA MIM ORAV23 PLUTO PONDUS PYFFLE SGC SHAMS SIMVAX SLAVE SOL STRGTE STUPI VAX780
