I've approached a few likely parties; reaction thus far is favorable.
I'll post a note here when I get explicit go-aheads. It's not free for
the publishing venue -- they have to have access to enough competent
reviewers.
The converse, of course, is that the operational community will have to
generate enough papers...

AFAIK, it still is still published under the name "AT&T Technical Journal."

You perhaps mean the BSTJ from 1978 that contains updates to the
article originally published in CACM in 1974?
Then: Bell System Technical Journal
Now: Bell Labs Technical Journal

Neither money nor reviewers are really needed. The XArchiv system
works really well in physics and astronomy and has a sparsely used networking
component
http://arxiv.org/list/cs.NI/recent
It works well if heavily used because it is open to any submission (including corrections
of previous submissionns) and because many papers are eventually published in print journals.
