APRS in Maryland/Virginia/DC and Deleware consists of about 
200 to 300 stations which will not be listed individually since 
ALL of the data on every station can be seen instantaneously 
by seeing www.jfindu.net  at the Lat/Long of about 39N and 
-77W and zooming out 2 clicks.  This will give you the system MAP.

* Do these sites connect to other systems via Winlink Classic?
   -NO-

* Do these sites connect to other systems via the Internet?
   -YES-.  Typically about 27,000 stations worldwide

* Can these sites receive packet messages via standard internet
   e-mail software (POP3)?
   -NO-  (possible, but not enabled globally due to concerns)

* Can these sites send packet messages via standard internet 
  email software (SMTP)?
  -YES-.  There are many Internet gateways that convert any
  APRS generated Email to SMTP for forwarding.

  can receive NTS messages and they are displayed on the
  screen in typical NTS format.
