The ancient Econet protocol should go. Most of the bug fixes in recent
years have been fixing security vulnerabilities. The hardware hasn't
been made since 1981, it is only interesting as an archeological curiosity.

Pedantry - the hardware was introduced in 1981, it was still being made 
into at least the 90s. Still probably time for it to die, though.

Patch applied with this pedantic adjustment :-)
