Hmm, don't forget that most of the early Winlink developers had no much clue
about TCP/IP especially over Amateur Radio, infact many of them among many
others have been against any kind of TCP/IP over AX25 for many years and maybe
they still think this way!

As for the topic, I think I agree with Michael's statements and yours.
