There's a new AMSAT-NA satellite, Eagle, currently under design. One of the payloads will be a messaging service built on jabber. Access will be with an inexpensive handheld terminal and a simple antenna. Part of the motivation is to make amateur satellite work accessible and useful to a wider range of hams, without needing a big investment in equipment or startup time. Interoperation of the Eagle messaging service with pretty much everything else will be implemented on the ground, with terrestrial jabber servers and gateways. 73 Frank AB2KT Member, AMSAT Eagile Design Team - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-hams" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
