These are interesting ideas. I wonder if a cubesat project such as\nthis would provide a workable test-bed for one or more layers of the\nproposed Eagle text-messaging service, which then could be bridged in\nsoftware to the ground-based messaging you propose. \n\nI'm not sure if this is what you have in mind, but some Linksys WiFi boxes\nhave enough RAM to run a stripped-down version of Linux. The trick would be\nto get the data into them. The WRTSL54GS has a USB port, reputedly for\nnetwork storage, but it might be hackable in order to get serial data from\na TNC or other demodulator using a USB-to-serial bridge.\n\nIt might be in AMSAT's interest to partner with a Cubesat project to\nexplore this. I understand the processing power onboard a cubesat would be\nmuch less; but just as Suitsat II will test the SDX, a flying testbed for\nSMS would be great. It would make for an excellent sales-pitch at\nconventions, etc.: imagine a table with a radio, demodulator and hacked\nWiFi box, and a couple of laptops. When the bird is in range, a\nJabber-based messaging program comes alive with contacts across N. America.\nfor 8 minutes or so. Then the pitch: you can help make this system work for\nhours-on-end across a large part of the globe with your donation to Eagle. \n\n\n73, Bruce VE9QRP\n",
