I seem to remember that some people have done something along these
lines. Could we discuss it on here please.

Hi Dirk,
I don't want you to loose your time... I have a problem, a 
question and a (im)possible(?) solution. Please answer to 
me... every thing you think about it!

I have my 2mt 1k2b ax25 node access full of access... too 
many ham operators!!!

I'm looking for a new way of handling protocol between 
node and clients.

A new style that admit a very few list of commands to use 
in unproto mode without logon and that send any dx, 
announce, WWV or WCY spot not in 
"node-to-each-connected-station" mode but only in 
"node-to-all" mode, just like a beacon.

All stations can send specific strings command (like 
"sh/qrz g1djk" and few other most used inquiry, DX and ANN 
command) in unproto message to communicate with the node 
and have answers by the node.

All stations will receive dx, announce, WWV or WCY spot 
not in "node-to-each-connected-station" mode but only in 
"node-to-all" mode, just like a beacon.

Packet Clients don't use this way of work if they are 
connected to a node, but in "earing mode" like the one 
used by rxcluster it will work... and putting tnc in 
converse mode permit to work in this new way!

I think it will be a good way to use frequencies...

What do you think about?
