    Yes, I had been enjoying the AX25 conversation. Most of the EastNet Packet Network is UROnode. Hopefully they can manage to save documentation,
    knowledge and hardware. There are also some nodes that are not UROnode (one being mine). I did not know him, but his contributions to the packet & Net44 communities were appreciated, he will be missed.
