 The problem hams are having in Germany are not just found in
Germany. For many years we have had a guy in southern NM who put up a
packet network, and then locked everyone out of it...hi When asked why he
did this he said "this network is only for keyboard users". Since he is
the only keyboard user here it is fitting he should have his own network.
The guy here is N5NGZ and he is in his 70's now and he has never used the
network much, but when I put nos on it early in the 1980's Dick had a
heart attack when he saw all the nasty stuff on his network!

 We have a "free network" that I have helped put together and it is
often so busy that things get slow, but what with 4 bbs systems, A very
fine DX Cluster and a internet Gateway weekends are sure busy. But we are
having fun. (I forgot about 20 tcpip'ers). But our network goes from
Farmington, NM to Albuquerque, NM to Las Cruces, NM to El Paso, TX to
Tucson, AZ and Pheonix, AZ so there is lots of traffic.

 So my suggestion, which another guy also gave and got called
arogant, I must repeat is to put up another network for the hams that want
to have fun. Leave your "Dick" to play with his stuff as he see's fit and
ignore him. It works just fine.
