Hey Tony,

Glad to have more Australians on HECnet!  I am over the otherside of our
great brown land in Perth, Western Australia.  There are a few nodes over
here too:

* BENDER (12.2) OpenVMS VAX V7.3
* TRON (12.3) RSTS/E V10.1-L
* POOKY (12.4) OpenVMS I64 V8.3 (only on intermittently)
* LEELA:: (12.5) OpenVMS Alpha V8.4-2L2
* ELYSUM (12.12) Tru64 UNIX 4.0G
* A12RTR (12.1023) IOS 12.4

I do have some other gear that can be reached through these systems,
although I haven't got round to putting together a gateway of sorts, maybe
I should do that...

Regards, Tim.
