Dick, I'd think Dick Mondro would have heard something about "viral infections" rather quickly. He stays pretty well plugged in to digital stuff. He's said nothing about this being a problem in the several E-mail and telephone exchanges we've had the past few months.

I assume the conversation is about attached files with virus payloads. Since Winlink is supposed to be a transparent wireless extension of the Internet, it sounds plausible to me. Have any of you picked up any messages on this issue, if it is an issue? 73 - Dick, W9GIG
