Hello all
I a sorry what I will be writing about has nothing to do with the subject of
the mail.
A few years ago (I am very persistent) I had a mail exchange with several
people about emergency relief communications.
I am now working together with the amateur radio operators in Ecuador and
the government institution of emergency response (Central de Riesgos) to get
an emergency (backup)network on VHF and HFrunning. Most likely we will
install a shared network. In this network, amateur radio, NGO's and the
government institutions will be integrated.
Three modems are in focus:
1-FLDIGI, PSKMAIL.
2-WINMOR
3-Mistd.188-110
Disadvantage of 2 and 3 is that no software for linux distributions exist.
Allthough 2 has, but is not completly developed, matured. I tested them
using wine in Ubuntu and they work ok.
Nevertheless they should run native in Linux.
Open source, multiplatform is prefered (a must). The why, I dont`t feel
discussing all the time. This is the reason I am most interested in a
PSKMAIL solution. Alltough most overhere (Ecuador) don`t agree with me,
because they are to used to Windows. I a still looking for the Linux
community here.
Principal issue I adressed then was the speed of PSKMAIL. Today PSKMAIL has
faster and addaptive modems, thats very fine. However for me not fast
enough.
Also simple operation is very important. Compression / decompression should
be handled automaticaly on the fly. Testing Winmor, I found easy use one of
the positive elements. (Compression on the fly is not integrated) Also an
coordinated, integrated international mailservers implementation is a plus.
However I dont like the `controle`issue of the winlink network.
Speed. I have been testing and I have implemented milstd. 188-110 software
(RFSM8000) in 2 networks, that comunicate on a national scale in Ecuador.
RFSM, although windows only, is a nice solution and has an integrated
POPmail server.The mail server does not comunicate SSL, but I resolved that
with and additional layer software.
A big disadvantage of the software is the time to connect. Turn arround
times are to long for effective message troughput (for an emergency
network)
Most of the messages for emergnecy communications are 1KB, 2KB. For 188-110
(RFSM8000) it takes half of the time to connect of the time to get the
message transmitted.
Needs: a message 1KB, 2KB, shoud be handled in 1 minute, to maintain channel
capacity.
I wish PSKMAIL to integrate a faster modem, like WINMOR capable of handling
a message in 1 minute. Simple and fast.
I am aware of the fact that I a not in the position to urge a solution, but
however I would like to discuss possiblities to get it done. The authors of
FLDIGI, tell me that they have no plans doing so but.... I would like
FLDIGI, PSKMAIL be the solutions for reasons of open source, multiplatform.
Please let me know all what you think about my proposal and the possiblities
to have it done.
I woud like to stop dreaming and get the networks running.
greetings
