I tested VerAC simplex FM tonight with another ham at 1200 baud (FTM-400 DRA-50[TNC]). INSANE how fast our chat's were flying. We were curious if we could somehow run a local simplex net. My suggestion was have everyone beacon and a new controller run down the list and connect. This is my first time doing VarAC, multiple users decoding/sending could lead to dropped messages. Maybe if multiple stations joined a net controller.. when the controller sends a message to all, the software looks for ACK's from each station? Then the control gets passed down the list in order of being connected, sends a message, everyone ACKs, continue down the list. Maybe it's impossible.. just an idea.
