I gave a buddy of mine (works with Mot DMR commercially) a set of cans for a VHF repeater, he is going to get me a Mot mobile and handheld (with BT) so I can setup a demo. I believe that WinLink has some templates for moving data that are similiar to the 3270 screen concept (there are still a boat load of warehouses that use 3270) I want to be able to use that demo for EmmComms folks. By the way most of the commercial data over DMR can also be setup to if bandwidth needed grab both TS to send data at about double the single TS rate. There is a reason why commercial DMR radios are called terminals, as I understand it that is the reason... Data Terminals. My real idea is the HMI is a slab (tablet or phone) talking to AREDN where available for the much higher speed and when dropped off AREDN on DMR through a BT connection to the hand held radio. So much to do and so little time to do so...

There are several videos of folks doing the same with both Mac and Linux. And one was using Android for the mobile end. Let me see what I can find, but from what I understand it gives the mobile device an IP. I will dig it up, as soon as I get my devices I will be banging away on it. I also have a couple of Hytera radios that are supposed to be able to do the same. The thing that bugs me is the fact that each one has their own can of soup to do it. That is where we need some devs to step in and do some open source code that takes care of it, something that can run on all platforms.
