[HECnet] Quiet list and a question about setting up a system

[Zane H. Healy]

I'm not sure how much traffic gets routed, but I've got a decent amount of bandwidth available as well.

I've never really noticed any real hit on my bandwidth.

So how do I get started with the node numbers and what-not?

Hopefully Johnny will show up sometime soon, he is the central registry for such things.   You need to figure out if you just need a node number or two, or an area.   Most people don't need an area, and in order to have an area, you need an area router.   I suspect most of us have our own areas for historical reasons (i.e. one of our systems was originally in such and such area).
