[Kenwood] TS2000 & Airmail

[J. Moen]

My understanding is that Winlink 2000 relied on Pactor for a long time 
(Pactor II and III modems are high speed and relatively expensive).  But 
starting in 2008, many Winlink sites also interface with WINMOR, which as I 
understand it uses a PC program and soundcard that can substitute for a 
hardware TNC.  I would investigate this approach, since all you would need 
to do is get the software and a suitable interface (e.g. Signalink USB or 
Buxcomm Rascal).  If you don't already do Ham digital, this approach would 
also allow you to have fun with PSK31 and similar digital modes, and the 
interface will cost about $100.
