    Depends on what part of the world you're in. In Australia, packet over
    CB and Radio over IP for CB are explicitly banned under the current CB class licence. :(

    True that. Every country has it's own rules and regs.

    Again, have to be a little careful here. While third party traffic
    rules aren't an issue (it's basically any TPT is permitted, unless explicitly prohibited), there can be an issue with content. This used
    to be an issue with Winlink as well, which made it controversial, since Winlink can transmit Internet originated traffic unattended. I can't remember how the ACMA changed the rules to allow this, without manual oversight.

    Don't get me going on Winlink <G>

    Hello Tony;

    Yep, my point was don't assume. ;)

    I know in europe CB packet is pretty big. So big one of those involved is
    on the LinFBB coding team. I do supply patches here and there.

    Haha, well it works, but has been controversial over the years. :)

    I have enough dirt on them to fill a 5 acre field! It's amazing how many
    guys don't understand it's nothing more than smtp over RF... same thing that KA9Q brought to the table decades ago. Like I say though:

    Call it manuer instead of sh*t, people will buy it up even though the contents are 100% equal!

    I think FRS radios are used for this purpose in the US, being FM.

    I don't think so for our CB freqs.

    As I said, similar in concept, would like to see the details.

    The biggest issues I see are the initial handshaking no matter which service you're looking to use as that's when all the data between each point is
    shared such as MTU! The rule of thumb to prevent fragmenting frames is that
    the lower MTU wins... however that's not always how it seems to go. Once all that is established, the rest falls into place fairly quickly. This is why
    9600 is the preferred speed, but that's not to say 1200 doesn't fly. I've
    even seen 300 baud on HF work to do SMTP mail with axMail :)
