Anything with "Win" in its name implies an OS I dont use! (or at least
very rarely)

I think you missed the point.

WinLink2K depends on connectivity to the internet to work. For
emergency communication it is totally useless.

I'm not sure what WinLink2K is or what its relation to emergency
communication is supposed to be. Is there a url about it?

I've been interested for a while in a packet mode that uses the
internet. An endpoint node wouldn't have to be on the net, but it
would connect to a remote node that also had internet connectivity.
So it would be fine for an emergency at the endpoint. If there was a
catastrophe that took out the whole internet, then it wouldn't work.
