Australia has no CW ident law nor are we limited in what protocol we can
run however we do have *very* restrictive identification laws. :-(
We must carry the callsigns of the "originating" station, the "destination"
station and the "transmitting" station in EVERY "packet".
(Words in quotes are actually used in the regs).
(and Yes, as Phil Karn pointed out, under these rules BBSs are illegal,
however they are "tolerated" as is Netwrong and IP).
Interpretation and enforcement of these regs is different in EACH state.
There are new regs ready to be made law however we've been waiting over 18
months for them. The creation of a new agency to control the allocation
and management of the spectrum (By Auction in some cases. :-( ) has held
them up and we have no date set when they will be actioned.
The new regs will require that only the "transmitting" station will need to
be identified. (I think only once every 15 minutes or so but on that I'm
not sure).
Carl.

I remember some messages from Bob N4HY and others in which they
successfully deciphered some 300 baud AFSK packet radio which
was used as background noise in a star trek movie.
The problem is, I can't find it anymore in my archives and
I want to show it to somebody.
If somebody has archived it as well, (and is still able to find it),
would he please send me a copy?
Thanks,
Geert Jan

Yes, I have PPP CHAP written. It wouldn't be too hard to adapt for the
air.
Phil has MD5 in his code, but it's a different version from that
published in the RFC, so there are conflicts.
