Should we share?

Depends on the situation.  Around here, we are spread out over separate 
frequencies in part to reduce the load on any one frequency --- the early 
everyone-on-144.99 plan showed major problems if someone in Geauga county 
did an FTP and someone in Lake county only heard them marginally (or not at 
all!).

And then there's the handful of folks who only use TCP/IP for SMTP and live 
on one of the PBBS frequencies... use an AX.25 bridge on *that* and you have 
a disaster in the making.

In either case, an AX.25 bridge would be a lose here.
