Sure! Will have to see what the schedule holds for next few weeks, but the LinuxRMS home page (Yahoo Group - https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/LinuxRMS/info) has been fairly active. Seems there is real effort to keep Linux in the packet game but these guys. They have been working through the new Sysop authentication changes recently, but seem to be making headway.

Wilson Sent: Friday, March 28, 2014 1:58 PM To: nlug-talk@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: [nlug] Red Hat Reveals CentOS Plans Hello Mark, That is good news to me that there is a LinuxRMS gateway available now. I still have some packet hardware, but have not had it up in years. Now most any computer has enough horsepower to do that without the external hardware and do a decent job. Good to hear from Rob, Been a long time since I had the chance to talk to him. If either of us could get away for a bit David would certainly appreciate a hand on getting the RMS gateway up again. Having it on something other than Windows would certainly be a welcome change. Dave On Fri, 2014-03-28 at 13:15 -0500, Mark J.
