Err, my brain just tuned on.....

It's not really 'my' CHAOSnet, I just applied for the number (for other people
to use).

But as to the question 'is it still in use', see this:

Of course, it's not being used (AKAIK) for anything vital, but there do seem
to be protocol 16. packets still going around out there. The vintage computer
scene is astonisgingly lively! :-)
