[HECnet] Re: [DECtec] It's oh so quiet...

[Ian McLaughlin]

Yes, very quiet. I’m also starting to think about Retrochallenge. This time I think I might combine my ham radio hobby with my retro hobby.  I’m going to try to get a VAX to connect to HECnet using DStar ID-1 radios that act as 128kbps ethernet bridges. From my reading, they are true bridges, so should be able to transport non-IP protocols. I suspect this is the first time anyone will have tried to deliver DECnet over DStar :)
