Hi all, as part of the upcoming 50th anniversary of
Unix in mid-2019,
a bunch of people are working to rebuild the mid-1980s uucp/Usenet
network using (real/simulated) period-accurate systems. To make things
easier, we are simulating the dialup lines too.
Details of the (nearly) turnkey software to do this is at:
https://github.com/DoctorWkt/4bsd-uucp
A map of what nodes we have so far is at:

If you are interested in participating, email me back.
Cheers, Warren
That's awesome! Thank you for doing this!
Please consider adding an encryption layer to tcpdial via
openssl/libressl, even if it's done outside of the netbsd vm/physical
machine, and even if it's done with self-signed certs or even tunneled
over ssh.
