<p>Hi Maiko,</p>
<p>Yes, that was the Hermes modem I was talking about, Hermes is
the project name it falls under.</p>
<p>From the readme file,</p>
"Mercury is part of the <a
href="https://www.rhizomatica.org/hermes/" rel="nofollow">HERMES
project</a>
(High-Frequency Emergency and Rural Multimedia <br>
Exchange System) by
<a href="https://www.rhizomatica.org/" rel="nofollow">Rhizomatica</a>,
funded by
<a href="https://www.ardc.net/" rel="nofollow" class="">ARDC</a> and
others."

latest ARDC news noted something that took me by big surprise :
<br>
<br>
KM6LYW Radio demos sending a Winlink email over HF using
<br>
Rhizomatica's Mercury soft modem ...
<br>
<br>
Digging a bit more and I found this software repository :

Downloaded the zip to my slackware 15.0, took less then a minute
to compile
<br>
and install, the binary comes up, now I need to play with this.
This sounds
<br>
like what I have been looking for, for a long time, a linux OFDM
modem, not
<br>
just any modem by the sounds of it.
<br>
<br>
Clearly I have not been paying enough attention, has anyone
followed these
<br>
folks over the years ? Has anyone tried earlier versions of the
software.
<br>
<br>
Bob, this not the same as the HERMES modem you were telling me
about, no ?
