So far it's generally been concluded that a D7 or D700 isn't
Likely to work well with Telpac, the VHF/UHF access node
For Winlink.  But there *is* some info indicating that these radios
In fact can be used, although they won't be as easy or provide
As much functionality as a true radio/TNC combo, or sound card
Packet solution.  But as Bob and others say, use what you've got,
Right?

Right....run what you brung....just be aware the fellow on the other end of 
the email that is
sending to you will likely not know what you brung! ;)
In Bob's use of the system, everything still works and is basic BBS opts. 
We've already swapped some
emails on the system.
Wait till he tries AirMail and it's automation.  He'll be tickeled pink 
happy!  He sounded like a kid in a candy
store today on the phone!
