I've had an address for considerably longer than that :)

To answer the original poster: net 44 generally isn't directly routable 
to the Internet, because there are severe restrictions on the kind of 
traffic that can be carried over ham radio bands. net 44 is intended to 
be an internet constructed using radio links. However, there are several 
gateways, and net 44 currently uses several tunnels over the Internet 
backbones to join geographically separated radio networks. There's a 
whole lot of stuff going on there (including some IP addressable 
satellites).
