[FLham] Winlink - APRS Proposal

[Radioguy]

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 (<http://web.usna.navy.mil/%7Ebruninga/aprs.html>APRS) 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 
<http://www.winlink.org/aprslink.htm>APRSLink. APRSLink 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
