(or if you have an emulator, telnet fish.ccl4.org).

My Viewdata board is currently switched off because it's in a bit of the 
garage which is buried under a fairground organ, but perhaps this is giving 
me the impetus to get it running again. I had it going via a SIP interface 
providing a classic V23 experience too (see 
<http://photos.jml.net/c1089667.html>).

I have some suggestions involving the Wakefield show as well and building 
what is effectively an 8-Bit Curiosity Museum given the Domesday was so 
well received last year...
