<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=140585100-11082006><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>I keep thinking about building a page like this. I'm
going to have to write the services behind it at some point, anyway. My
biggest concern has been avoiding unauthorized use. How do you go about
authenticating everyone, without having some sort of labor-intensive signup
process with a human reviewing everything?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=140585100-11082006><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>I figure you could have the system give a new user a code
that must be sent via RF into the network to authenticate themselves. It'd
be inconvenient for the user if they're not set up for it or don't have a local
IGate, but it doesn't require intervention.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

AM<BR>Subject: [aprssig] APRS web messaging<BR><BR>Just brainstorming here, I
don't even know if this is possible or desirable but hopefully someone can
answer this for me. Is there a web page that exists that I can send and
receive APRS messages on? Is this technically possible? There are ways in my
head that seem like it would be possible, but I wasn't sure if something
already existed before I start poking at it myself (yea, like I need another
project) <BR><BR>Thanks and 73 de N1VLV,
