Hello all,
I'm beta-testing a service I've set up to allow public access to a network of
computers running System V UNIX Release 3.2. This is only tangentially related to
RetroNet, and we hope to peer with them once RetroNet has UUCP peering going!
The network consists of three emulated 3B2/400s linked by UUCP, and connected to the
Internet through a gateway system. E-mail (UUCP, UUCP-to-SMTP, and SMTP-to-UUCP) works in
and out of the network.
There is a small private Net News setup running BNews for that true historic flair. All
machines have access to the "retronet.*" news hierarchy. (There is no public
Usenet access, sorry!)
If you're interested in reliving some UNIX history, consider signing up for an
account. You'll be randomly assigned a home host in the network.
Account signup form is here:
https://loomcom.net/
Access is via SSH-to-Telnet gateway, by connecting to:
$ ssh access(a)loomcom.net
(No password is needed for the SSH gateway, it is a captive portal)
