NETROM
Subject: How to CHANGE the CALLSIGN in the NETROM Software
THIS MOD IS NOT TO BE USED FOR PIRATING THE PRODUCT OF SOFTWARE 2000
OR ANY COPYRIGHT PRODUCT OR MATERIAL.
A bit of History...
When NETROM was first announced, most of the packet community realized that
it was another significant contribution to the growth of packet radio.
Contributions from the WA7MBL and W0RLI authors, the hundreds of digipeater
owners, sysops of countless PBBS's and "packeteers" who have DONATED their time
and efforts to packet, have been the backbone of packet growth.
Despite the many complaints from many amateurs over the cost of the NETROM
"contribution", Digipeater owners once again dug deep into their pockets and
DONATED their efforts to the cause of Packet Amateur Radio and NETROM Nodes
have been appearing everywhere.
Now with the emerging controversy over Nord-Link's "THENET" (a NETROM
"look-alike" being distributed FREE with source code for the Amateur community
to modify and improve), Mike Bush and Ron Weekes of Software 2000 (owners of
NETROM) have made harsh comments of theivery, etc.. towards Nord-Link for their
efforts. Amateurs who have viewed the code are questioning the validity of such
comments by Software 2000.
