The Winlink article looks like a mere crib of winlink.org's mainpage :( 154.20.152.71 05:12, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

Indeed, and it shows a very one-sided view of the system. Not mentioned are the interference issues, the fact that the only way to participate is by the purchase of a commercial modem, the fact that the protocols in use are not published and considered to be commercial assets .. this system doesn't even attempt to pay lip service to the main tenents of Amateur Radio - experimentation and furthering of the arts, interpersonal communications over radio promoting international goodwill, no commercial uses, etc. It's a sad state of affairs that the main organization representing Amateur Radio in the U.S. is deep in bed with these people and are ready to throw it's membership under the bus to further Winlink's aims. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Zeke7237 (talk • contribs) .
