Hi Doug. I’ve been a subscriber for some time. Watching, listening since being active on packet in the late 80’s thru 2001. I live in Port Ludlow where I would use The PTN node to connect to the digital world. That node doesn’t seem to be there any longer. Can you advise how I can gain connectivity to a node in your network and thus access a bbs for mail? Many thanks.

You can do this yourself using http://www.heywhatsthat.com/profiler.html, to map the path from your house to one of those sites. We need to update the Sites page to have the cell site coordinates for you.

I would like some help in determining if my home has a feasible link. I'm in the North Arlington/Stanwood area. If it is feasible I'll buy the equipment necessary.
