They are.   So let's not encrypt stuff.   And how much commercial data
flows across HECnet? ;)

I'd be much more concerned about the rules on swearing!   I'd violate that
in a more or less continuous stream if I didn't know what I was typing was
going over the air...

This is a wonderfully bad idea -- I love it.   Somewhere I have an old
DUP11 that I picked up 20+ years ago with the idea of using it for packet.
The AX.25 spec and a kit-built Flesher TU1200 are around here somewhere too ...
I really wish I'd moved on that project back when there would have been people
to talk to!   (TNCs came along about ten seconds after I lost interest, natch -
all the name "Kantronics" means to me is the Rockhound!)
