Right.

Pskmail communicates to the internet via the server, the client connection to
the internet is always via the server. For chatting to people on the internet
we have a telnet agent. For chatting I use a simple converse bridge written in
perl which sits on a server and can be reached via the pskmail client, a telnet
client on my telephone, or a telnet client on my laptop.... I can make the
converse software available if necessary...Of course a telnet connection needs
its own arq channel, as it will block the frequency during the session.
You can also use the APRS messaging capability, which is unproto and completely
APRS compatible, so it can talk to VHF portables or Xastir and UIvieew clients
on the internet side..

We don't see Winmor as competition, its concept is fairly limited and
completely different from Pskmail. Pskmail is open souirce, and user driven.
Winlink is a closed, and centrally managed.

The key is to have a working server network. This will have to be organized by
the users.
You will need a few 'champions' promoting the system. We can provide material
if necessary...
Hope this helps,73, Rein PA0R
