Hi Gang,
I'm in the process of re-building my Winlink Gateway, with the intent to
move it to the local fire station hose tower (a much better location). I am
planning to use the data ring for access to the Winlink system, and the
site does have coverage from Tiger.
I have two problems, I think....
First, I think that "RMS Packet", the server application, has switched to
an SSL connection to the Winlink CMS system. I believe they do still
support the non-SSL port, so I think I can force that using the hosts file.
The bigger problem is that this will be running on a Win10 host to support
the Vara FM protocol, which is currently Windows only. Win10 tends to be
rather "chatty", and I suspect (though I have not confirmed) that most of
it's background noise is SSL/TLS. Has anyone looked at this, and can Win10
be made to "shutup"?
I suppose I could run LinBPQ on a RasPi as the main gateway, and just use
the Win10 box as a modem on an isolated segment, but that seems like a lot
of work.
Thoughts?
