MoIP - Morse over IP
|
||
====================
|
||
In analogy to voice over ip (voip) we can also do morse code over ip (moip).
|
||
A number of different approaches for CW over IP exist. Here we describe the
|
||
well-establised CWCom protocol.
|
||
Besides a variety of other approaches exist, for example an IRC
|
||
plugin ([CWirc](http://myspace.voo.be/pcoupard/cwirc/)),
|
||
a [JavaScript implementation](http://morsecode.me),
|
||
a [bandwidth-eating UDP implementation](http://hans.liss.pp.se/node/343),
|
||
a [chat for iOS](http://pignology.net/cwwithme.html)
|
||
or a modulated CW over IP using Mumble ([iCW](https://sites.google.com/site/icwoip/)).

# CWCom Protocol
|
||
A number of different approaches for CW over IP exist.
|
||
An early implementation has been the CWCom protocol,
|
||
which has been the basis for Morse KOB, a ready-to-use software.
|
||
|
||
## CWCom Servers

Server software:

> Bob Denny - http://morse-rss-news.sourceforge.net/
|

|
||
|
||
Relay Server:

* Relay server for CW communicator and morse KOB: http://morsecode.dc3.com:7890
|
||
* Sources for the Relay Server: http://sourceforge.net/projects/morse-rss-news/

|
||
## CWCom Clients
|
||
Both chat programs have been written for CW exclusively and are compatible<ref>Relay server for CW communicator and morse KOB: http://morsecode.dc3.com:7890</ref><ref>Sources for the Relay Server: http://sourceforge.net/projects/morse-rss-news/</ref>.
|
||
|
||
An alternative implementation in C exists as well as a port to the ATMEL AVR Microcontroller.

# What is IRMC?
|
||
IRMC stands for Internet Relay Morse Code.
|
||
It implements the [CWCom protocol](/doc/cwcom.pdf?raw=true)
|
||
as adopted by [MorseKOB](http://kob.sdf.org/morsekob/docs/history.pdf).
|
||
You can try out the software in a [browser](http://kob.sdf.org/morsekob/morsekob30/index.htm) using Java.
