"Connecticut Digital Radio Network"


     CDRA was formed by a small band of TCPIPers in Connecticut to promote
TCP/IP and develop a reliable, dynamic network to handle IP traffic through the
state, and at the same time advance the technology of digital communications.

     At the present, CDRA is supporting 3 major data switches and other nodal
stations that provide many various services to the TCP/IP community in
Connecticut and surrounding states. CDRA has provided technical expertise,
software development, site development, and equipment procurement to build the
finest AMPRNet to date in Connecticut.

     The three switches in Bridgeport, Bethany and Portland are linked together
on 70 cm at 9600 baud and support interconnection to the surrounding states by
linking to other networks in New York, Northeast Connecticut and
Massachusetts. 9600 baud 70 cm users are supported by a full duplex repeater at
the Bethany Switch, with similar repeaters at Bridgeport and Portland to follow.
1200 baud users are supported at all three switches with 2 meter simplex ports.

     Additional services include a dedicated station to provide internet access
to the worldwide QSO chat, local CDRA chat linking all CDRA stations, internet
callbook server, domain server, and time server. Gateway stations are provided 
for IP to AX25 or AX25 to IP interchange to encourage nonTCP/IP aware packet 
users to explore the Connecticut AMPRNet.
