Over the last few years broadband availability has obsoleted many
uses of it.

There was some 44. vpn'd over the Internet (probably
still is, I closed the GB7BBC gateway into that last year)

As there are legal restrictions on traffic into amateur networks
it's generally not directly connected to the Internet
