The problem with PHONE is that you can't see a centralised directory of the whole network and who's on.

I tried to write a script on a Linux-DECNET box to get such a directory but it broke something on BQT's systems.

Broke and broke... You managed to spam my logging. For some reason you managed to trigger logs for trying to access machines that were not up, if I remember correctly...

IM's are slightly different, as I'm sure you're aware.

The benefits to phone are:
	
	- You are notified when your buddies log on, anywhere on HECnet
	- You can control who can message you (i.e. buddies only)

Any interest in this type of service, i.e. something like Jabber/Gtalk but over DECNET?

Aren't you reinventing PHONE? ;)

Only insofar as to use it on an actual phone I hope. ;)
