Or am I not understanding it correctly? I thought he       would link some Winlink repeaters so it's ALL HAM traffic.               JA> course BBS's have small enough data footprints that you COULD work        JA> them at 9600 baud if you needed to...               HG> Yes, as long as you still have a POTS line and a modem in your        HG> computer.              I meant the Winlink operates at 9600.                     ...
