That sounds like an interesting project. I'd personally like to
shoulder surf or read periodic updates, possibly a blog or twitter? ;-)
I don't see how RetroNet can help with that connection. It sounds like
you've already got a good plan in place.
That being said, I do think that you could have a RetroNet … node
(?term?) … at your house and then pass news feeds / email / etc over
your Telebit UUCP extension. — I see no reason why that wouldn't work.
If you want to do such, cool. How can I / we help?
