I looked at the first (i.e. most recent) couple hundred, but nothing
really jumped out at me as applicable to the scope of our current
projects.

I did notice a request for a remote serial TNC. :)

back to your earlier post:

I've got a use-case for that as well (very low data rate low power
balloon tracker, would be nice to gate it to 144.39 or other
chase-coordination RF).

How would you envision that implementation?  not overloading the RF
channel gated to is the trick.

I'm wondering if a rate throttle (e.g. packets/min, bps, etc) would be
useful on any gating to RF?  A graduated/exponential type throttle? (1
packet per second over 5 seconds, 10 packets per minute over a minute,
etc)?  random thoughts from an uncaffeinated brain...
