Guilty as charged. The only thing that surprise me is that I have been playing with HECnet and trying to get more people connected for so long (I think I've soon been doing this for ten years), and recently the 
Let's see, I joined in, uhm, let's see, that's right after I left eBay and
went to work at Mack Trucks, so that would have been 2000.   It's been at
least 9 years since I got involved and I forget how long you were at it
before that.   I know you had the serial over IP thinging already written
by that point.

Longer than I thought, or remembered then... Yikes!

number of connected places, and people, have started to accelerate. And now I start seeing activities for doing stuff around this whole thing by others as well.
Great fun.
This is exactly the whole point.   It wasn't just about the small number of
us getting it going, it was about getting other people excited about it as

Job well done. :)

Now I can crawl back to my retro RSX hacking full time... :-)

Seriously speking, I'm about to write a new MAIL11 client and server for RSX, just because there isn't any that is good enough right now. And I also want to make it possible for me to later extend it to also talk SMTP once my TCP/IP is ready... :-)
After that, I'll create a relaying under RSX just because I will be able to. He he...
