Cool!
Welcome!
We're currently hanging out in the #retronet group on the Synchronet
network (I'm accessing through irc.chivanet.org)
I think a UUCP over ssh would be nice as would an SSL
version.
I've personally done UUCP over SSH multiple times.
It looks like TCP port 540 is reserved for UUCP over TCP and TCP port
4031 is reserved for UUCP over SSL.
So, we'll definitely be offering those services inside of RetroNet.
Currently the idea is to make services available inside of RetroNet. I
don't know how many services will be openly available across the
Internet. Primarily for security / safety reasons.
That being said, I think we are planing on a gateway for things. We're
certainly willing to talk about other options too.
I would like to see UUCP over ether as serial for
backwards compatibility
to talk to old machines and emulation.
I / we would like to know more about the "over ether as serial" part.
I'd think the goal would be to have RS-232 (et al) serial ports that can
connect to retro computers and make things look like what they would
expect to see. That being said, we will either need an RS-232 (et al)
serial port on a gateway, or something else to translate from serial to
likely an IP~>telnet connection.
If you have ideas, please bring them and share them.
Some of the kid's I know would be blown away by
Cnews and television or
transported over Internet or PPP links.
Yep. :-)
