Here is an interesting question... What is the user throughput in WPM or CPS (what you see on your monitor) in 1200 baud AX.25 and the 190-200 WPM user throughput of PSK125?
I have send many, many pure SMTP messages using sendmail over AX.25 KISS mode with a NOS stack. I have also worked with HTML message/E-Mail templates and find only a couple hundred characters different in the template E-Mails/messages and those that are full and complete E-Mail such as used by sendmail.
