Some years ago when I was active with Dufferin ARES in Orangeville, myself and Wayne Maclean VE3WWM conducted extensive trials of Winlink. We used AX.25 (VARA didn't exist back then) and Windows laptops. The only way we could get Winlink to work consistently was P2P.

BTW, I have been in contact with a local ham who has successfully gotten Winlink to work on Raspbian using the Pat client so there is hope for us Linux users.
