[aprssig] Universal Text Messaging and SMS

[Rusty Hemenway]

Are there any 2 way email programs other than WLNK-1?  One way is fine, but
two way is better.  I hope I don't open up a can of worms, as others have
with this or similar questions.   Being able to send 2 way, SMS size
messages, to cell phones/email would be a big advantage in an emergency.

EMAIL-2 has been the recommended APRS "callsign" to use for accessing my
javAPRSEmail server for a couple of years now instead of AE5PL-EM.  Sort of
like "EMAIL version 2".  This is also stated at the
http://www.aprs-is.net/Email.aspx page Bill gave in his post.

Since the address in a message packet is always 9 characters, shortening
this by 3 or 4 characters does nothing for bandwidth.  I use a TH-D7A for
messaging sometimes and the delay to add a the extra 3 or 4 characters is
insignificant IMO.  It is easy for people to remember "EMAIL" as a callsign
and hopefully "EMAIL-2" as the "version 2" of the EMAIL server.
