- Crap. There is more of a network floating around NSW than there
- has been for MANY years. The netrom and wormhole links are
- working and data is being moved. Sure it's not a wonderful
- network and we're going to have to spend a lot of time and money
- to make it halfway decent but it's a base we can build on. At
- least we haven't locked ourselves into a deadend like ROSE or
- TEXNET. BTW I do agree netrom is a deadend, however we can use
- it as a stepping stone to TCP/IP.
