For this project I made a few goals, guidelines and specifications, which I try to make prossible in my Packet Radio Project.

Some Goals:

• The program must be as flexible as possible, and as complex as the user wants it to be.
• It must work with all (Or lots of) (and multiple at the same time) packet radio modems.
• It must be able to spread different processes over different computers (network Transparent)
• Must NOT use TCP/IP over AX.25 (I just HATE that :-))

Some Guidelines:

• I will try to make it OS independent, it should run on every PC, also with processes spread over different OSses

Some specifications:

• The language will be Shell Scripting Tk/Tcl, because:
  • it's avaiable (with minimal differences) for lots of OSses
• The process communcation will be done using Files (Format not yet specified), because:
  • It makes it network transparent (Using NFS/Samba/or whatever)
  • Every OS understands normal text files :-)
• The modem (if possible) will be accessed in HostMode, or terminal mode. KISS will be the last option.
