Open5066 is a free and open source software that enables the use of NATO NC3A STANAG 5066 protocol stack for HF radio communications.
The concrete embodiment of Open5066 is the s5066d daemon, which is still in the early phase of development. Major feature enhancements and debugging are currently underway, making it advisable for only those with C debugging skills and a willingness to contribute to attempt to use the program at this time.
Although Open5066 is currently only available for Linux, work is being done to eventually support other UNIX systems. Solaris 8 with /dev/poll will likely be the first port attempted. To install Open5066, simply unpack the tar file, cd into the s5066d directory, execute the make command, and copy the s5066d daemon to /usr/sbin. It is expected that within a month or two, a system that is usable in limited ways will be available for use.
