Anyway, just a thought. And to make it real, I'd
need a bunch of
people who wanted to be RetroNET nodes, and some convenient way to
allow people to dial up. Tymnet sprang instantly to mind (primarily
because they're still EVERYWHERE, and still allow 300bps dial up!
My portable Silent 700 works! Yeah baby!)
I'll bet they're expensive, though.
Still... anyone want to be a RetroNET node? :)
Why pay twice for dialup access? I already pay $40/month for a nice fast
connection to the NET, everything else is easily connnected to the NET, why
duplicate the dialup access?
Make a VPN, virtual private network, then concentrate on front end and back
end tools to make it fun.
