Thanks! To be clear, it’s totally fine to write articles like this, obviously. I just felt that some who goes above and beyond on such an esoteric subject would be vibrating with energy to share as many details with likeminded enthusiasts:)

If I had more time, I’d like to play with this (and trying to recreate an old style stand alone tnc for packet radio) :)

I'm normally pretty good about writing close to length, but the first draft of this 950-word article was over 2,000 words long. :) I only get three pages per issue though, so even though sometimes it's painful deciding what lore to leave out, it has to be done :)
This is just me, but I would have written the 2000 word article, and made it it a md file on github as future home of the code you're going to drop. Then link it from the 950 word IEEE article. Then you'd already have a crystallization point for future work.
