Further to this, I now don't just have a working Econet, I've also 
managed to get the first BBS up and running again, wired into a VoIP 
adaptor and hooked up to a DDI at work.

Thus, 01924 870834 is answering as a Viewdata V23 BBS running on a 
BBC model B with 16k SRAM. It's still running off 5.25" floppy (so 
slooowwww) but I hope to rectify that over the weekend. I'll try and 
get it answering via SIP so that those with VoIP persuasions can save 
on phone bills if you want to give it a go (using G711 codec for 
better data results).

It's running the CARBBS software (hacked up a bit to support a couple 
of extra things).

untidy garage.
Progress reports at http://blog.joel.co.uk/index.php?catid=3 as I do stuff.

Cheers
