Subject: An experiment?

Please forgive any errors I'm not a copywriter just a
concerned radio networker.

Due to an imminent change in licensing conditions in the UK
it appears that at present those of us with "Notices of Variation"
to our licenses will be expected to try to run TCP/IP access on a
frequency shared with vanilla AX25 and quite probably variants thereof.
Certainly "wild nodes" "KA-Nodes" and others. We did try this from
about five or six years back to the recent past and the results were
not pretty to behold. TCP/IP got a 'bad name' and it was a real
setback to progress in radio networking and the echoes still linger!

I contend that nothing has changed in the basic MO of either TCP/IP
or vanilla AX25 and variants thus the situation remains much as it was.

However the person responsible for issuing these "Notices of Variation"
essential to comply with UK law. (I can hardly credit that I have to
- write this btw. ;) Simply poo-poo's the idea of less than optimum
working for both modes on a common frequency as I've attempted to
describe above. His contention is simply that "it works" and he has
expressed his intention to "experiment" with his idea.

I would be extremely grateful therefore for the wisdom and experience
of those of you that can possibly spare the time to write, to indicate
whether such operation is viable, efficient or whatever other input
you may want to add. Thank you for your time.
