[DECtalk] dectalk is offline

[Shaun Everiss]

jayson, at usagames, we use linux on a secure server.
we access it with winscp, http://winscp.sourceforge.net

You would to bee compatible with ssh 2, rsa and dsa incription and support sftp.
Its accessible enough to do stuff.
It needs a server though.

I don't think connections are going to bee a big thing.
Ok, so maybe we will just have to have secure password or something so no one can read this red dwarf stuff.
Saying that, we would then need some way to subscribe to it or something.

Well probably not good.
The thing is andre says he will do the thing previded he has some money for the archive.

Most of his servers are radio, chat and his own files.

JJ who is on blindgamers is the owner of streammadness.
I don't know if he would bee on our side, but he runs a few things.
He runs thezone a free bbs also.

Then there is softcon.
Its slowish though.
We do however need another mirror, especially since mp3s of red dwarf will come every week.
I wander if shaun r would mind just the dwarf stuff music and all on his site.
Lets face it, most of dec archive is static.

Interesting thing is a little while onj says he will keep the thing up previde nick g managed it.

Now its not.
Something is going on here.

Lets just say I have herd things, which are not the best to talk about on this listt.
