The same goes with connecting to an IRLP or Echolink or even WIRES II for that matter. There will have to be some kind of a hardware gateway that will take a signal (most likely on the G2 Server) and pipe the audio out to an analog radio. Otherwise the signal will be strictly a digital communication that none of the above mentioned would be able to interpret. <br><br>So, unless you were to rely on a network infrastructure translation service I don't see this function being able to happen anytime soon.<br><br>Thanks,<br><br>Eric M.

</style> <br>From an ECOMM perspective, I'd like to see D-RATS interface with WINLINK, the<br> way AIRMAIL and PACLINK does. <br> <br> I really like the way AIRMAIL gives you the option of sending ordinary email via Radio<br> or Internet connection, with an easy to use interface. It dovetails into an exsiting worldwide<br> network, that allows you to pick up your email via radio or web page. It also incorporates a<br> white list feature that prevents most spam email from entering the system, as you must send an<br> email to your target recipient before they can send one to you. <br> <br> I think having AIRMAIL "like" capability, but using a D-Star radio, is a key feature thats missing<br> from the landscape, and could really benefit ECOMM. No reason to totally re-invent the wheel,<br> the infrastucture is already in place. I think D-Star has the potential to replace Packet Modems<br> for emergency communications, especially if you can add some sort of store and forward capabilty.<br> <br> Having "one" radio that can do Voice and send Email (with WINLINK) is the holy grail for our ARES<br> team. We would no longer need to purchase one radio for voice, plus a separate Radio and<br> expensive Kantronics modem. A D-Star radio, with the right software, could accomplish both<br> functions at the same time.<br> <br> Thanks,<br> <br> Terry - N7EXB<br> <br> <hr>_______________________________________________<br>
