[HECnet] DECnet for Linux

[Gregg Levine]

Hello!
Indeed. I got there in time for your "How to wrap a computer for
mailing" session..  And naturally by the time you were looking for me,
I had managed to reach the point where I'd implode if I didn't return
here.

Then when you returned, they'd moved those events to the Friday, and I
was able to properly explore things. Where you are? RSN.  As for Erik
building via Slackware, I am pleased. I also arranged that.

Now that I think about it, that sound it made was the teletypewriter
responding.......
