- 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.
