[drats_users] Use of TNC with D-RATS

[Scott Currie]

Dan--
I would say there are probably a lot of lurkers out here that would like 
to see more robust TNC support.  As others have mentioned, D-Rats is the 
Swiss Army Knife for us, but it is still an uphill battle for some 
groups to add D-Star support.  Many folks have old TNC's gathering dust, 
we should blow the dust off and use them with D-Rats!  I for one would 
like to see:

AX.25 support for UI frames via digi's and/or connected state via nodes
Winlink services via RF to a RMS Packet station (would require connected 
state of course)
