We do it with digis, KA-Nodes and netrom nodes all the time.  As long
as the transmitter on each RF port IDs with the station's call sign
every ten minutes (in USA), it's legal.  What's in the frames, is data and
can be anything.  It's just the same as the audio  in voice
transmissions can be anything.  It's the ID every ten minutes (in USA)
that makes you legal.
