Theoretically, you could run SLIP over it, using it like a dial-up modem. I've never tried it, but I don't see why it wouldn't work. Might have to do some experiments with that some day.
I'm not too familiar yet ith all the software that has been written for D-STAR LSD, but if something hasn't been written already, it seems like it would be a simple task to write a program that acted as a mail gateway and/or HTTP proxy with specific optmizations for D-STAR operation. I've got a project going already, but once that's done I might look into this. Of course, if you can get your hands on a few ID-1's, it's all moot. You've got a 128k Ethernet link, and everything already works with that. Just wish they weren't so expensive... -Joe, N8FQ QRV WD8MKG C and WX8GRR C On Tue, 03 Nov 2009 06:11:41 -0000 "kc9mnl" <kc9...@arrl.net> wrote: > Hi All, > Just completed making a serial to icom ID-800H radio interface cable.
