[digitalradio] WINMOR good
Another major update came out today. FYI, despite some limitations on noisy HF (like all modes) , my view is the the RMS package is now a complete one. A application that fills the void mentioned frequently, namely the lack on HF on-ramps. With Winmor HF stations now connected to the WINLINK system, hams can easily communicate via Internet and without Internet. Example, today I connected to KN6NB-5 on 30M, just to see if the upgrade was working. I connected and received an email from another ham that was sent a couple of days ago. I had not checked mail for a few days. How I got the email, I have no clue. In other words, I don't know how it found me, I have not kept up on how Winlink works. I assume that I checked in to a WINMOR winlink station, it checks WINLINK for any mail for me by using the Telnet link and then sends me the mail via HF winmor. While many may have issues about the winlink concept, it now does do something effectively, gets messages to a destination via variety of methods ..error free.

Re: [digitalradio] WINMOR good
Hi Andy, I guess you could say that the Winlink system is like an ISP like Verizon or Comcast. The CMS servers hold the mail until you connect to a gateway that polls the servers and checks for any mail addressed to you @winlink.org. The RF connection is like a cat5 extension cable. It brings the internet's email capability to a place that doesn't have connectivity like a remote area or a catastrophic area. With Winmor this ability to store and forward email to the internet is available with packet on vhf/uhf and HF using a sound card. It's an effective tool for emergency digital communications. 73, Ron ny3j Andy obrien wrote: Another major update came out today.

RE: [digitalradio] WINMOR good
Andy, The RMS WINMOR station is always in contact with one of the CMS (Common Mail Servers). When you negotiate a connection, it checks for any mail waiting for your call. You can also send mail through the RMS WINMOR Station. It doesn't have to be to a winlink.org address. There is also a RMS Relay for store and forward, in case the RMS WINMOR station you connect to has loss of internet. In that case, when you disconnect, it will connect to another RMS Station via RF and pass your traffic. I haven't fully implemented RMS Relay in my RMS WINMOR server, as it is only for Pactor 3 at this point. I expect that will also change in the future. I wish I had a better grasp that what I indicate here. It is a nice network; much wider in it's scope than most realize.
