If it is the same protocol as B1F, was the reason for developing it, that the B1F did not have the needed exchange to work with Winlink 2000?
So it is basically an extended version to do more "things" that they need to have it do? I don't think that I am fully understanding what your code is being written for? Are you writing what would be considered an open source version of B2F so that it could be used across all platforms to access the Winlink 2000 system through the internet? Is there any way to improve interoperability between say, a PSKmail system and Winlink 2000 system? On a separate note, how feasible is it to incorporate L-Z/Huffman combined compression in any data mode, including keyboard mode? 73, Rick, KV9U N2QZ wrote: > >"B2F compression" is a misnomer.
