Email Over Radio Project
#10
Thanks for the update Dave. Winlink has been an immense source of frustration and failure for me over the last 10 years (even when I tried it with a Windows PC). I would be prepared to take another look at it but I have to smile at the RAC "SMILE" exercise. All it tried, and failed, to achieve was sending an Internet email using a different email client.

Perhaps RAC should have started by encouraging every club to set up an RMS gateway. Winlink is useless unless there is access to the network everywhere seven days a week, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Ten years ago, when I first investigated Winlink (with Dufferin ARES) the only connection we could rely on was P2P. Our local RMS gateway was highly unreliable.

Meanwhile NBEMS requires no infrastructure, no proprietary software and is rock solid reliable when every participant sets up his station properly. There is even an Android app for sending messages from a smartphone through a radio.
