True.  My other system is a point ATM, though it is a node in some othernets.

Mine are:

Binkd - Synchronet (this one I'm on now and is already IPv6)
Mystic, using native binkp support.

Cool. :)

I've never used MBSE.  Used to run RA back in the 90s.

Yes, there is a lot of nostalgia around.  I wouldn't mind getting my old RA
system back online, but that would be more like a living museum than my main
system.
