Speaking of interesting - I saw somewhere once where there was a BBS

would much rather set up an OpenVMS BBS anyway - I'm an amateur   
radio operator and would love to put my Alpha on packet.     Does   
anyone know or has ever seen such an animal?

So, weren't BBS's mostly text-based communications fora accessed
via direct dial-up to a modem bank attached to the BBS host? and
haven't those mostly these days been superseded by Wikis that are
accessed over TCP/IP typically via http? Or is it your goal to
gateway AX.25/TNC protocols over to HECnet? Now that would be new.
I can see it now, HECnet links over AX.25 radio links.
I can see it now, AX.25   links over HECnet   internets.
An Alpha running VMS as a TNC BBS? Dude! You'd be the envy of all
your ham buddies! Go for it!

Aloha, Angela
