Very cool, Andy, sending a message to the Yahoo Group via Winmor and the
Winlink Global HF Email System!
Just so everyone doesn't think that Winmor is dog slow, below is a section of
my current Winmor RMS (Radio Mail Server) log file from this early evening. If
you've got good propagation you are going to go fast. If not, well then I guess
you are Andy :-)

The first entry is Andy's traffic. Because of the protocol overhead even
connections that pass no traffic take approximately 2 minutes from start to
finish. The more you send the less the overhead affects the aggregate data
rate. You can see the connect in the log right after Andy moved a message that
had 4707 bytes (compressed, uncompressed it was 4876) in about 5 minutes.
That's flirting with 1Kbyte/min over a 500Hz bandwidth HF connection INCLUDING
overhead, i.e. not bad! That is pretty typical for a 500Hz Winmor connection
with good propagation. With very good propagation rates can approach
2Kbytes/min, i.e. VERY not bad for 500Hz bandwidth!
Finally, as Dave noted there is no RMS relay yet for Winmor. So there is no
true, organic (radio based), mesh network, store and forward YET. For now
Winmor is dependent on the internet to move messages between the Winmor CMS
mail servers. Nevertheless, if you are in an internet denied area (no wireline
or commercial wireless) you can now send and receive internet email over HF and
do it WITHOUT a $1000 Pactor modem.
