> The ARRL Ad-Hoc Committee on ARES Communications (ARESCOM) is seeking 
> your
> assistance to document what digital communications systems are in use 
> today
> on the VHF and UHF bands. While the majority of digital communications 
> is
> overwhelmingly packet radio, there are many different packet systems 
> in use,
> and they are interconnected using many different methods. Continuing 
> the
> Board of Directors' resolution for deployment of e-mail via Amateur 
> Radio
> (as exemplified by Winlink 2000), the purpose of this initiative is to
> gather input on existing systems.
> The goal of this phase is to gather information on existing packet 
> systems.
> We are seeking input from packet System Administrators, not individual
> users, as we need information on how the packet nodes are linked and 
> what
> connectivity methods the packet systems use with systems outside their
> coverage area.
> We are seeking input as soon as possible. Data collection will end 
> December
> 31, 2004.
> What we are looking for is detailed information on current packet
> infrastructure. It is completely appropriate for one person to respond 
> on
> behalf of several System Operators if they all agree to that course of
> action. We simply ask that the names and call signs of all involved be
> listed.
> To participate please download the form found online at
> http://www.arrl.org/digtest/TestSurvey.pdf or at
