I think you've got a good idea here but, the hardware doesn't currently have any support for such an application. 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. Gildersleeve ~ KD7CAO<br>

<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></div><div class="Ih2E3d">
Having "one" radio that can do Voice and send Email (with WINLINK) is the holy grail for our ARES<br></div><div class="Ih2E3d"> 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> </div><hr><div class="Ih2E3d">_______________________________________________<br>
