Net-C works

I tried Net-C again, on my home LAN. I got it working between the netbook, desktop, and Linux box. Told Phil. He wondered if we really needed it...

I explained why I was attracted to the idea.
  • software runs INSIDE our network
  • impervious to spam attacks
  • keeps internet consumption low
  • supports file transfer
  • acts like an intercom
  • avoids shouting (late at night)
  • cross-platform
  • Net-C is "thin"
I said that I was curious about finding a solution for when he or Dietmar were in theirs PODs, away from the action. I shared that I sometimes feel "detached," especially when I've been in the THO.

He thought these were good reasons to try it again.
