[HamWAN PSDR] Integrating WL2K

[Bill Vodall]

FYI - Interesting merge and mix of technologies...   Looks like
something what would also work for PSDR.

Subject: [wl2kemcomm] Utility of RMS Express
To: wl2kemcomm at yahoogroups.com



With the addition of the feature set Telnet PtP, RMS Express has
really stepped up as an Emcomm message delivery tool. This LAN capable
feature set adds great flexibility and one-stop-shopping for options.

Since its release the San Diego environs and Baja California wide area
Emcomm LAN has been testing and discovering  the utility of Telnet
PtP.

Instances of RMS Express in Telenet PtP have been installed at various
sites covering 30 miles and linked by multiple 5 Ghz Ubiquiti hops.
(This is the same LAN topology as Mesh nodes, just commercial based
and point to point driven).

W3NRG  at the LAN Email server site on Coronado island, San Diego harbor
XE2/N6KZB  home site
XE2SI home site
XE2BNC-10 at the Cardenas radio site, Playas de Tijuana
XE2BNC-11 at the LAN HUB radio site at Abuelita, north Tijuana
XE2BNC-12 at the Cerra Colorado radio site, near Otay Mesa border crossing

In the past few days extensive messages and files, (many at the 120K
compressed limit), have been sent over the network without one
failure. Many messages for differing call signs have been left at
XE2BNC-10, then picked up by those individuals running Telnet PtP from
their locations on the LAN. (A interesting mail drop point aspect).

Here is the utility aspect:

You have one user-client software that can perform a variety of tasks
and protocol delivery.
Thus you only have one software to train and gain experience with. A
simple few mouse clicks and you can move from one feature set to
another.

The local radio club station can, (they are on the LAN), use RMS
Express in normal Telnet with IP direction to XE2BNC HF RMS Relay.
Here they see normal CMS connectivity. Should internet fail, RMS Relay
will then deliver via HF Pactor to a CMS.

If needed they can change mode to Pactor WL2K and use local HF radio,
(or Winmor).
Packet radio is also available to the station for use.
And now PtP telnet for LAN connections as desired.

The local Civil Protection office with a LAN connection and a
dedicated computer can run just RMS Express Telnet PtP and retrieve
re-directed emails or messages inputted from the club station.

What Phil and the WDT have accomplished is a client software for
Emcomm that is only limited by what you connect to it, or your
creativity.

Now perhaps time to leave this alone, and YES it is getting perhaps a
bit too much "press" by me, but I do tend to get overly excited when
something works this well.

Adios
