By the way, the hecnet.eu <http://hecnet.eu> page says the bridge has to
run on Unix. I have ported it to Windows as well. I can't remember if I
ever sent the code to Johnny though. Johnny, do you want the code? I
can't remember what I did to it, but I did have to change it around a bit.

I don't think I ever got the code, but I remember you working on it. Yes, it would be
nice to have.

      I'll mirror whatever we come up with on http://hecnet.eu as a static
      page, can't see given our pace of change that it's going to get out
      of date quickly!

      Hecnet.eu has been a bit I unreliable lately as I've moved over to
      the mikrotik router but it should be fairly stable now and my
      interest in dec kit is waxing again.

 Yes, we keep trying that. It keeps failing. :) 
 Yes. Also, it would be nice with a little more massaged       information about
public resources. Assembling something from
      one-liners really isn't what I was thinking of.

 I can offer up a web server. It's FreeBSD though. :) 
 As far as that goes, I could do that on RSX...

 I will get back to it. I promise. :) 
 Ah.
 Well, yes, it's a nice project. Would be neat to get it working       more
completely.
