I'd suggest you take a look at the Linux Journal Article that was
referenced earlier in the thread. My friend Dan got a nice piece in
their on his D-RATS software which does short messaging over a HAM
network (don't butcher me on correctness, that's about the extent to
which I understand it).

Wow, I'm really glad you pointed this out, because I totally missed it,
and from the sounds of it, it essentially does almost everything Joe was
looking for:
A general list of features:
* Instant-messaging style chat
* Multiple automatic messages at varying schedules,
containing static or dynamic content
* File Transfers of arbitrary binary or text content
with compression
* Online/offline status notifications
* Multi-platform: runs on Linux/UNIX, Windows, and MacOSX
* Canned messages
* Chat logging
* Tabbed chat interface to filter traffic based on a search string
* Structured data (i.e. Forms) transmission with multiple form
templates, graphical editor, and HTML exporting
* Form-to-Email gateway support for providing email access
to distant stations
* Winlink2000 gateway
* Automatic message forwarding
* Arbitrary TCP forwarding over the RF channel
* Support for using a TNC or a network connection instead
of a D-STAR radio
* GPS position tracking, distance/direction calculation, static
beacon support, and integrated map viewer with offline caching
* Network-linkable repeater/proxy co-application
