Chetek's fate is unclear. Navsource indicates that ex-Chetek was renamed Demelon. Further, she is listed for sale as of 2007. Another source indicates that ex-Chetek was renamed Chetek and at some point sold to Basic Towing, Inc. and renamed Nickelena.[2]

gollark: Rednet, while at first glance appearing to enhance security by being able to send messages to specific computer IDs, is susceptible to the issues of spoofing (in this case, pretending that one's ID differs from one's actual ID) and interception, as it is built on top of the modem API, which permits doing this using its lower-level access.
gollark: You don't need to "bypass" it, just listen to rednet.CHANNEL_REPEAT with modem.
gollark: I wrote some of this, it's useful.

gollark: Rednet *itself* can't receive messages sent to a different computer, but raw modem access *can* easily.
