Re: 1976 and M17

I recall hosting images.slashdot.org at wolfe.net (a major dial-up ISO) in Seattle in 1996 on a pent 133 box running Debian. We did that because we had the Big Pipe, a T3 (45Mb/s) feed from Sprint.

Re: 1976 and M17
For the post-minicomputer generation, the relevant genX analogy will be that of Linux vs. Windows. Linux offered the same open source freedom that M17 does today in that it was a completely

M17 repeaters
It would be great if more multi-mode DV repeater owners decided to enable M17 and update their RepeaterBook or Repeater World entries accordingly. This is a call to action - please ask your local DV

Re: Need some volunteer editors for Wikipedia¡¯s M17 article
M17 was never called "Mode 17". I have slightly edited the M17 Wikipedia article. Go ahead and give it a read. There's one more table there - a DV comparison.
