[drats_users] E-Mail SMPTE Connection

[John D. Hays]

Eric,

I think everything Terry is looking for is doable with D-STAR.  Airlink,
Winlink, etc. are text mode and with "a simple matter of code" a bridge
could be built.

As far as voice goes, you have both DV and FM.

D-APRS is supported on D-STAR and can already communicate with much of the
APRS world through interfaces.
