(cut)
I cannot believe I'm reading this. Virtually every time there is a major
hurricane in
North Carolina (once/twice per year), every other mode of communcations is
down.
During Fran, we even had Gov. Hunt checking the damage from the EOC in
Raleigh,
and, the National Guard and police used the 2 meter band (on repeaters
linked from
Raleigh to the coast in Wilmington) as well as 3107 and 3121 on 75 meters.
In addition, the National weather service gets real time reports by
communicating
with hams on 2m repeaters using the Skywarn system, which even the TV
forecasters
listen to, and people with scanners listen to, to find out what is really
happening outside.
This is the best WX information available. Most active local hams
participate. Where do you guys get this stuff about irrelevance? Ham radio
turns out
to be about the only RELIABLE form of communications available here during
disasters,
long after cellular phones and the internet are down. From experience, I am
absolutely
convinced, as are our non-ham community leaders and the Red Cross, that ham
radio
is an essential component of modern emergency and disaster communications in
North
Carolina. We have emergency power (generators and deep discharge batteries)
and can get
very creative to keep communications going when needed. I must characterize
your
statements above as being very naive with respect to actual real world
emergency situations.

I stopped talking about Linux here years ago. No ones listening.
Mostly DOS and Win3.1 users on this group, with a large amount
of C-64 questions. :-)

oops, we now have the expert of experts SMTP and MX record knowledge.
"it" is the SMTP server you point at with your Browser mailer, etc. Don't
care about how your BBS does it.
I got your "clue store"... hanging!
