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.

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".
For those like myself who only have Linux and want to run MS programs, there is VMware and a couple of other applications that you can run on Linux that will allow you to run an MS OS and applications.
I am wondering if Linux WINE will run Airmail? If someone knows or has done this, I'd like to know. Airmail is a great little GUI that does anything you need to do. If working with an external device that will do Pactor.
