Hello vk3jed,

What is the status of Retronet and PiNet these days?

I ask because you are the QWK hub if I remember right and someone asked me about that recently and I wasn't really sure. Is Retronet still up and running?

PMFJI, I see Nigel (of End Of The Line BBS) makes it available
to nntp users.

Looks like there is some modest activity. Sounds like a cool
bunch of retro heads in there.

Jump in anytime. :)

I was connected to Retronet for a time by QWK. I lost that by my playing around
with a little bit of this and a little bit of that. It was active when I was there and it was a cool net that Necromaster set up.

I can't seem to connect to necrobbs.strangled.net ATM so I wonder if there have
been changes recently that I need to keep up with?

If you'd like, I can get you set up here via FTN. I'm a hub for Retronet.

The traffic isn't too bad. It's not up to fsxNet standards, but not too bad.

I may just do that some time when I get done with my this and that. I'll pass this info to the fellow who was asking. I think he's one of your fsxNet nodes so keep an eye out..

Cool.. is Carlos still around there? He's a cool BBSer I haven't seen around much lately and I hope he is doing OK.

He is still around, but not nearly as active as he was. It's kinda
hit-or-miss lately. Last time I chatted with him, he was doing fine.

Carlos posted in a few echoes recently to announce that he was having issues with the DNS for strangled.net and recommended people use necrobbs.ddns.net instead.

He's had a few surgeries on his hand but he's on two facebook everyday!

Other then that all is good with the world as far as that goes...

Sure can. Just grab a copy of the Retronet info pack and send me the application form. You can grab it from my website: www.castlerockbbs.com,
or you can FReq the file from 1:317/3 with magic name RETRONET.

I usually try to get applications taken care of as soon as I get them.

Good to hear.

And yes, I am the RetroNet QWK hub.

Is PiNet in there too? I have been meaning to get a Pi and if I do that I might
need help with that if there are differences I need to get my head around.

If you know Linux, you'll be fairly right with the Pi. I only have piNET on FTN here, I can't recall if they offer QWK. Obviously, I can offer it, if given permission.
