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<ref>CWCom, John Samin (VK1EME): http://www.mrx.com.au/d_cwcom.htm</ref>,
which has been the basis for Morse KOB<ref>Morse KOB, Less Kerr: http://kob.sdf.org/morsekob/</ref>
<ref>Morse KOB 4.0, Less Kerr: https://sites.google.com/site/morsekob/</ref>,
a ready-to-use software.
## CWCom Servers
## 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.
An alternative implementation in C exists<ref>IRMC (Morse KOB): http://fernski.blogspot.de/2013/03/internet-relay-morsecode.html</ref> as well as a port to the ATMEL AVR Microcontroller<ref>MorseKOB for AT Mega: http://fernski.blogspot.de/2013/05/sending-morsecode-via-atmega.html</ref>.
# 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.
