Hi Dan,

Man that was fast, I'm impressed.  I quickly tested checking Winlink 
email and it works great. 

I believe the way SSIDs work, -1 to -9 are extensions of the primary 
call.  If you are using Paclink, one of the client programs, and you set 
up an email address using your call and an SSID, you have to use the 
same password as the main email address which is your call.  So the 
first thing you have to set up is your call then you set up any other 
ones with an SSID.  Every email address gets authorized to use Winlink 
by just sending an email through the Winlink system.  The -10 SSID is 
usually set aside for RMS Packet Gateways.  So when you see a call with 
a -10 you will know that you can connect to the station to send or 
receive mail. 

What I did was change the D-Rats userid to NY3J-1 that allowed me to 
check the winlink mail from NY3J.  This was using simplex.  I'm not that 
familiar with the D-Star system but in order to use gateways or even 
repeater with an SSID you may have to register that with the server.

Thanks for all your hard work Dan,

Ron ny3j
