    I'll mirror whatever we come up with on http://hecnet.eu as a static
    page, can't see given our pace of change that it's going to get out
    of date quickly!

    Hecnet.eu has been a bit I unreliable lately as I've moved over to
    the mikrotik router but it should be fairly stable now and my
    interest in dec kit is waxing again.

Yuck. While I won't prevent someone from doing this, regularly

that file, hoping for a standardized, usable format, seems

and heavy. :-)

Yes, we keep trying that. It keeps failing. :)

Yes. Also, it would be nice with a little more massaged
    information about public resources. Assembling something from
    one-liners really isn't what I was thinking of.

Seems noone have such a web resource around, so I guess I'll
    drop the
idea for now.

I can offer up a web server. It's FreeBSD though. :)

As far as that goes, I could do that on RSX...

There was someone who (for a while?) tried to have a network
    map around.
Is that still up somewhere? It would be even nicer to get something
superimposed on a real map.

I'm still going to be working on it. It's been sitting on the
    sidelines
waiting for Paul to get NICE support written into his DECnet
    stack he's
written in python. The current mapper works fine so long as it's
    only
DEC OSes involved. Cisco (and Rob's router) break it and I
    haven't found
a good solution to that while trying to run it on VMS (there are
    some
limitations such as paramiko not working on VMS).

I will get back to it. I promise. :)

Ah.
Well, yes, it's a nice project. Would be neat to get it working
    more completely.

If people follow a standard CSV format surrounded by tags, converting that to a HTML list/table is like 10 lines of Python, max.
