WPM? What is WPM? Bytes per second is a fixed measure. Assuming 5 bytes plus a space that's 6 bytes per word. 200 wpm is 1200 bytes per minute? Or 1200/60 120/6 or 20 bytes per second. About 200 bits per second. That's not bad for HF but it looks like the PC-ALE package is much faster. Don't forget that since this is based on standard TCP/IP technologies, it's easy to connect PSKmail to JNOS to Airmail to the rest of the world.. They're all building blocks. Hmmm. Does the PC-ALE messaging talk TCP/IP standards? I wonder if it would be possible to use PC-ALE to automatically send a compressed bundle of UUCP Email... Bill
