I added an answer here:

For central sites (like decvax) that had a lot of connectivity, you will
be expected to run them continuously. For edge sites which only dial in
to one other site to exchange news and e-mail, you can run them whenever
you want.

It's mostly simulated sites right now, but I'd love to see some real
systems come up and connect in. Not sure how to connect the simulated
sites (using TCP for the dialup links) and the real sites.

Cheers, Warren
