The latest version 0.3.3 ca already do a lot more... This is from the wiki: Send APRS Posit Send APRS message Send APRS email Send ping Send Link packet to server Receive APRS message Receive short email on APRS Receive weather (or other) bulletins automatically and store them. Set APRS Icon Set APRS Beacon Period (10, 30, 60 mins) Set APRS status message GPS connection (RS232 and USB) ARQ terminal mode: Get your mail from ISP (e.g. gmail) Send mail via ISP List, download and read files on the server (tell the sysop what you need) Telnet to any computer on the internet, e.g. your packet mailbox Get special info depending on your location from the web like: - tide information - List of APRS stations - List of messages on findu - For RV'ers a list of parking lots in a radius of 5 Miles from your location (EU only) - The latest wx bulletin - Grib files for zyGrib - Latest IAC fleetcode file for zyGrib etc, etc, etc... as PKSmail is a free decentralized system the sysops determine what info is available on the servers. You will have to bribe the system operators to get your specific stuff on it. In EU we got this organized so the same info is available on various servers, and is updated several times a day. Any info not on the server can be called from the web....
