Radio Messaging Service Installation
(a.k.a. Email over HF with a SignaLink -or- VHF Packet with a TNC.)
This page will walk the user through the operation of RMS Express. In general, packet is easiest with a Terminal Node Controler that is plugged into a 9 pin serial adapter on a computer. A prolific 2303 USB-Serial Adapter will work provided the correct driver is used.
RMS Express is primarily a BBS and Email system. It is robust and works with a TNC using AFSK or works with a SignaLink over HF. A SignaLink can not be used over VHF or UHF (at least that I have been able to make work yet.) RMS Express allows users to send messages and email that can contain attachments. These users are also ablet to receive email from the internet. There is quite a bit of information at the WinLink website: Here.
