[HECnet] DECnet for Linux

[Dave McGuire]

  The 11/70?  Yes, that's the one that I had at VCF-E.

  Amusingly, I remember meeting you, you had introduced yourself as
Gregg, but I had not made the connection that you were THE Gregg until a
few hours later, when I couldn't find you! ;)

  I do hope you can come out to visit someday.
