Here's the posting in the ARRL E-Letter where that link came from.  I
got a chuckle out of the mention of the "new" software - that's only
been around 18 or 20 years or so..

+ LETTERS: New E-Mail Software

There is new software entitled JNOS for passing e-mail messages over
Amateur Radio during emergencies:
<http://ronhashiro.htohananet.com/am-radio/packet/jnos.html>

Readers can download the program, and try it as noted in the
documentation. Configuration is simple: it takes only ten to fifteen
minutes editing in your call sign, password, and log-on banners to
get started. The beauty of JNOS is the sending and receiving of
e-mail messages over the Internet as well as Amateur Radio
seamlessly. It can print incoming e-mail messages on a printer
unattended, one message to a sheet, just like a fax machine.

JNOS will also take advantage of the ICOM ID-1 in digital data mode,
and I'm in the process of testing and documenting that configuration.
At some point, I'd like to implement this at Hawaii State CD and Oahu
DEM, when a sufficient critical mass has been implemented. -- Ron
