Well, over AXUDP and a hop or two past that via UHF.  There are no RMS 
nodes within VHF range out here.  (Something I will probably eventually 
remedy.)

I can also telnet to server.winlink.org:8772 and get through that way, 
to apparently the same system/type of system.

So the only difference between that and what I'm doing, that I can see, 
is the underlying transport -- correct?  Once I'm logged in, what 
exactly is different?  Incidentally, what does the + at the end of the 
callsign in that "mbox ki" do?
