Q300 I am active in the National Traffic System, handling messages with "Winlink Classic" software. Is it compatible with WL2K?

A300 No, it is not compatible. The Winlink 2000 system is an off-spring of Winlink 2.9 (Winlink Classic). AirMail is similar to Winlink 2.9, but has MANY differences. A major difference is the message routing process. Winlink 2000 does not support “H-routing”. Winlink 2000 is centered on the SMTP email standard.

Winlink 2.9 was written by Victor D. Poor, W5SMM, who has continued to write software
for Winlink 2000. You can read more about the history of Winlink at:
http://www.winlink.org/node/1

AirMail can be used to send and receive NTS radiograms via the NTSD system, by
accessing the NTSD “Area Hub” pactor stations. See the instructions by AE5V at:
