RMSGateway New version

There is a new version of RMSGateway. This is at the moment in Beta test. See the mail of Basil N7NIX.
If you like to test the new code. Just mail N7NIX. basil (@) pacabunga.com

 

The new code (version 2.5.0) has been running on a few machines for the
last couple of days. I would like to get a few more sites to try out the
new code before it is released.

If you would like to help please contact me directly & I will give you
instructions on how to install the new code. Only the python scripts &
xml files changed to support the latest Winlink Web Services.

Thanks,
/Basil n7nix
