False alarm. I missed the "only" part, below.

I'm trying desperately not to have to lay out another boatbuckfifty just to
get slow email, and thought I'd read that this SW would do the job.

Meanwhile, my up-the-mast wifi isn't yet ready for prime time, still being
bogged down in technicalities.

More meanwhile, I'm just looking for more input on various wefax softwares,
having decided to pass on the Xaxero for the moment.

I got this reply (and my response) in the Island Packet group - anyone here
have experience like this??

To: "Island Packet Owners Discussion List"
;
Subject: sailmail and airmail via JVCOMM32 (was) [islandpacket]
WeatherFax

Hi, Tim, and group:

You might check out JVCOMM32 for wx fax and NAVTEX.

If you do sailmail/airmail they have an add on for fax and
NAVTEX also. JVCOMM32 can use the sound card or pactor modem
and sailmail/airmail uses ONLY pactor modem...

I have not yet visited nor explored the site, trusting in your experience
and forebearance.

Are you saying that this will do ham/SSB email by software, not PACTOR
modem??

Thanks.

I feel your pain but it's actually a good investment. If it weren't
for my Pactor III TNC I would get almost no routine use of the SSB.

The combination of SSB, Pactor and Airmail gives you offshore position
reporting, automatic NAVTEX, automatic WEFAX, and EMAIL, all without
an internet connection.
