Hello Marco;

It's really fascinating how FlexNet handles vanilla ax.25 without the need
of other underlaying protocols to do it's routing.

Having done the inital english translations of (X)net and experimented
with it, at first I was very impressed mainly because our conversion
to Flex was meant to be a hostile take-over in a manner to block IP on
RF - foolish folks who are now SK didn't believe in IP over RF and
insisted it had to reside on a wire, and our dealings with Gunter
Jost were not the most favorable to put it mildly. The way he suggested
to do IP through Flex was not at all efficient and our IP paths kept
vanishing. Now with how I've engineered it, our links are extremely
stable not just for IPv4 but also IPv6.

So you've seen how effective it is :)
> Unfortunately that network is only a far memory.
The only one(s) stopping you from rebuilding it are those sysops
on your network. Every 5th frame you gain 100 bytes in your data using
Flex! Even at 1200 baud that's a huge gain!
