Thanks for your efforts in this area. I have downloaded and installed the SoundModem application and am experimenting with it here. I am curious to know if D-RATS will connect to a Winlink RMS using SoundModem as the TNC. I do not have one near me to try it out.

Thanks again,

Packet traffic doesn't go out over the ratflector and traffic from the ratflector doesn't get sent to packet. This limitation exists because the ratflector app gives an error when we try to create a packet connection directly to it.
