I prefer to follow the UNIX school of thought and go for a modular 
approach, with a common data interchange format, so you can plug the 
pieces together any way you want.  D-RATS for D-STAR radios, a packet 
module for interfacing to a TNC, perhaps even a separate AX.25 module 
for direct interfacing to legacy networks, a WInlink module, 
etc.  Then the user can just plug together (in software) the pieces 
they wish to use.
