We wish to implement bisync or a similarly primitive protocol over an HF/VHF
radio link. Has anyone done this? (of course, but have YOU done this?). We
are not certain BISYNC is the best protocol for the job, but our requirments
are fairly simple (point to point lines, no real networking involved) and we
know of few competing protocols. Comments, Advice and sources (preferably
Pascal, but we're not all that picky) will be very welcome.

If this is a commercial proposition, expect opposition from our friendly telephone monopoly. Also, us radio amateurs (please, not "hams") have been doing things like this for years - RTTY, AMTOR and now packet. But of course, this is merely "experiments of a technical nature where recourse to the local telephone system is not justified" (or something like that!). -- Dave Horsfall VK2KFU ISD: +61 2 438-1266 VTL: 248181000 Lionel Singer Group STD: (02) 438-1266 20 Waltham St ARPA: munnari!pyramids.oz!dave@SEISMO Artarmon NSW 2064 UUCP: seismo!munnari!pyramids.oz!dave AUSTRALIA ACS: dave@pyramids, dave@elecvax, dave@runx "BSD is not UNIX"
