Being someone who entered the BBS scene around Oct '95, I watched the whole BBS thing in Western Australia shrivel up and die. Which was a sad thing, cause I liked BBS's. I was actually tossing up whether to setup an IPv6 tunnel network between local Perth ISPs, then linking the "network" to somewhere in the eastern states. Anyone else on here game? Even an IPIP tunnel with our own network would be really funky. I liked the internet before I started actually getting large amounts of SPAM and the general amount of crap out on the internet. I've heard stories of people setting up "development" networks alongside the internet.. how about we do the same? :) -- Adrian Chadd | "Unix doesn't stop you from doing <adrian@psinet.net.au> | stupid things because that would | stop you from doing clever things"
