ir3ip amateur radio development

Glossary: "amateur radio" is usually abbreviated with "hamradio", and hamradio people are normally called "OMs".

In this page, some hamradio software projects are shown.
They are useful for OMs who administrate their ham gateways.
What are ham gateways? They are servers, connected both to internet and hamradio packet radio network. Yes, OMs began to exchange IP datagrams in the late 1984 through their network made by nodes (located in the top of mountains) radio connected each other: data link uses AX.25 protocol and permits connection and connectionless links.

Now there are several hamradio gateways in the world, which permit hams to exchange informations theyself, and offer several services accessable in the web.
An example of hamradio gateway is www.ir3ip.net, located in Treviso (Italy), which uses the software shown below for their services.
