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).
