NET 1,3,4 are using a combo of BinkD, HPT and Htick for mailer, tosser and
files respectively.

NET 2 (you :) is currently on Mystic but my desire would be to shift off this
and run the same software as 1,3, and 4.

NET 5 is running Wildcat server stuff in conjunction with BinkD mailer. I
don't propose any changes to that.

In most cases the NETs are meshed with HUBs sending to all and dupes being
part of the overhead and caught at the HUB end.

Once we have had a tidy up of nodes I'd like to work with you to migrate to
the different software (if you are happy to do so)

Deon has created a Docker instance being used in NET 4 and 3 that I think we
should be able to install and run under Windows to work on and set up for NET
2 then cut over once ready. In doing this we could retain the box you run as
a Windows machine but essentially run on top of it a Linux setup for the NET
2 HUB. That's my understanding (correct me if I am wrong Deon :)) We would
need to check the Windows box has specs that work for Docker. I expect it
would.

For NET 1 I have manually installed stuff on a Linux box and am learning by
doing vs using Deon's Docker image. I went that way because I wanted to
endure the pain and joy of it all hahahah..

Flick me a netmail and we can chat further over the specifics, next steps etc.
that work for you and the NET 2 setup.

Hope this reply helps.

Best, Paul
