Good evening everyone.

This message (below) was sent using TelPac, a Telnet to Packet interface
that was developed as part of the World Wide WinLink2000 system that
supports digital communication from and to mobile digital stations.

It was sent by Packet Radio to the Telnet Station at KN6KB and back to me
via the internet. I have copied exactly was was received by my email client.
This message was sent only minutes before it was received in my email.

It demonstrates the capability of the Florida Layered Packet Network from
Jacksonville to Orlando and the use of TelPac to send a message from an
AX.25 Packet station to an ANY email address using TelPac.

This message, while short and simple, provides documentation that the
concept of using packet radio, the Florida Layered Network, and TelPac as a
means of sending messages during a communications emergency from the LAST
Mile (where wire line communications are disrupted by a disaster or other
interruption of commercial communications) with the resources of Amateur
Radio and the Internet is a viable method of Amateur Radio support of
Emergency Response Agencies.

This application of Packet Radio is the most capable method of sending
digital messages AND attached Files that exists in Florida. It far surpasses
the capability of any other method now being promoted.  This method allows
radio support from the site of a disaster to the first available internet
connection and does not require keyboard to keyboard communications. It
supports sending files needed by Emergency Management, such as Situation
Reports as required by the Department of Emergency Management.

If you have questions regarding this innovative application of Amateur
Packet Radio and the internet, I refer you to Bud Thompson, N0IA, at
[email protected] and Rick Muething, KN6KB at [email protected] or simply
use "reply to all" from your email client.

Thanks to KN6KB, KF4SIR, N0IA and all the other dedicated Amateur Radio
Operators that have made this possible.
