Hello Mark, That is good news to me that there is a LinuxRMS gateway available now. I still have some packet hardware, but have not had it up in years. Now most any computer has enough horsepower to do that without the external hardware and do a decent job.
Good to hear from Rob, Been a long time since I had the chance to talk to him. If either of us could get away for a bit David would certainly appreciate a hand on getting the RMS gateway up again. Having it on something other than Windows would certainly be a welcome change. Dave On Fri, 2014-03-28 at 13:15 -0500, Mark J.
