My original plan was to make the domain available for all to receive email with either:

<username>@hecnet.org   or

<username>@<DECnet-nodename>.hecnet.org (much easier to do BTW)


I'm running a PMDF mailserver on VMS which can gateway mail from the internet
to DECnet Mail-11. I could set it up to do this if there is interest.


The web address was (is) an after-thought.


I'm also running the OSU webserver but it looks like web hosting might be
addressed by others with more bandwidth. (I'm not great at providing content
either!).

One thought occurred to me today; There used to be the Mailbus and Message Router products running on VMS. They could be used to route messages between different mail systems. They were used at DEC until about late 90's. The addresses used the format user.name@*.mts.dec.com.
Unfortunately I don't remember much of them anymore, but just thought that they could be used as a message gateway between HECnet and the Internet. If I remember correctly, the VMS Hobbyist licenses included those.
If someone has recent experience of those, he could possibly tell more exact details about the feasibility.
