  Description     : Software modem for sending email, files and messages over HF radio

Mercury turns a single-sideband radio into a data link.
It handles the waveform, the error correction,
the retransmissions and the radio keying, and presents
the result to your application as an ordinary TCP connection.

Features:
 - ARQ data link for point-to-point sessions
 - Adaptive speed
 - Broadcast mode
 - VARA-style TCP TNC interface
 - Controls your radio via Hamlib
