Charles, I have joined the UsPacket.org as you requested, However unless there
has been some e-mails sent to you off net I for one see no hostility regarding
the SkipNets. I for one was looking for information about the network because I
had never heard of this network and if it came across to you as hostiliy I am
sorry, it was not meant that way. I hope that each of the groups can work to
make thing better.
Thanks Russell NC5O

Group members will have to forgive a few
members here who appear to harbor some personal hostility regarding
the SkipNets, and Packet radio in general. To
find out more about the SkipNets without getting flames stirred up here,
please contact me off-list for details.
As it stands today, the Skipnets transport
miscellaneous bulletin traffic to keep the system exercised. There is some
personal messaging, but there is a great deal of underutilized capacity for
more point-to-point messaging between amateurs.
No non-ham or 3rd-party traffic is transported by
the Skipnets, but ham-to-ham communications are definately
encouraged.
A new HF network roughly modeled on the SkipNets is
currently under development, but the first servers will probably not appear for
some months yet. There are still numerous issues to resolve. In the mean-time,
participation in the SkipNets are a good way to get up to speed on the basic
concepts behind a global, independent, all-ham radio communications
network.
Again, due to the hostility here, please take all
comments and questions off-list. Contact me personally at: n5...@uspacket. org
- Or stop by at http://www.uspacket .org where there is a
forum.
