That's essentially what Winlink is... A great introduction is to download and run the Airmail program. H F or VHF. Clients and servers. Internet or Radio. It's a good first step regardless where you end up going. Note that it'll also work peer-to-peer so you don't need the Winlink infrastructure if you're experimenting with some friends. http://www.airmail2000.com/ 73, Bill - WA7NWP PS. For the JNOS discussion folks.. Take JNOS2, cut out most the of BBS code and most of the servers. Compile it so it's a native windows applications. What do you have? I suggest "airmail".
