Winlink 2000, APRS join forces with APRSLink (Jan 12, 2006) -- 
 
Following the Amateur Radio response to some recent disasters, Bob  Bruninga, 
WB4APR, proposed using his Automatic Position Reporting System to  enable 
mobile and remote APRS users to access their Winlink 2000 e-mail accounts  under 
emergency or unusual conditions. 

In response, the Winlink 2000 development team came up with APRSLink.  It  
monitors all APRS traffic gated to the Internet and watches for special  
commands that allow APRS users to read or send short e-mail messages to and from  
other Winlink 2000 users, perform e-mail maintenance, receive notices of pending  
Winlink 2000 e-mail via APRS and query the APRSLink server for information on 
 the closest Telpac gateway or Winlink participating station. Details are on 
the  APRSLink Web page.
