I see it as more of a "utility mode", like Echolink from a PC.  I 
don't have much interest in using either PC based mode for general 
operations, as I like to throw real RF around, and would prefer to 
run D-RATS on the air, but there are times and situations where the 
ability to log in from your PC is a useful tool.

IPeople will use whatever works, regardless of security.
