It's not locally that this is of significant value. Right now,
with Linux, it's possible for (for example) 3 stations to each
have one RF setup and share that port with the other 2. Thus
giving the same functionality as if all 3 stations each had
3 TNC's and radios -- on unique frequencies or locations of course.
It would be amusing at the least if this could also be done
with folks running windows and using AGWPE..
