The FCC has just changed the amateur licensing in the U.S. to use the
Universal Licensing System, which uses online completion of the
necessary forms (not 610, but a new form 605). I just registered my TIN
and callsign at the FCC's web site and tried to access the ULS. It
isn't reachable from the Internet, but via a toll-free 800 phone number.
The instructions only tell how to access it via dial-up networking with
Windows 95/98. It would appear that one might be able to configure
Linux ppp to handle it, this sounds like a nice way to really mess up my
networking configuration (new routing and DNS information). Ugh! All I
wanted to do was make a slight correction in my address. Fortunately I
don't need to renew my license for another five years. By then, I
expect they will have changed it considerably.
