[AusNOG] For AusNOG amateur radio licensees

[James Spenceley]

I still remember the debates on using ROSE or TCP/IP for the ax.25 packet gateways. Guess TCP/IP was the right choice huh :)

My first Internet access was via the ax.25 ham radio gateways back in 1991-2'ish. The intent was you could hop across the Internet to other ax.25 gateways but if you poked around you could also exit into the IP world and connect to the various university machines, I'm pretty sure that was never the intent but man an account on a UNI machine sure was useful :)

( I thinks theres plenty of blocks available still in that range if your a ham radio operator and like to toy with IP !! )
