Rather than incorporating VARA capability, it would make more sense to use the TCP KISS interface to another application.

Would you be willing to perform the testing if such an interface was added?

Connecting VARA by way of KISS would of course be possible as you point out, and I think I was thinking of something much like, well let's use the Adobe PDF file as an example, except imagine Adobe was run by one person, only ran on Windows, and hosted its files and documentation on Wordpress and Mega, both with their own "devastating" security flaws (I didn't say this). Of course we could all use Adobe Acrobat to read our PDF files, and that would be that, until the wordpress and or MEGA was hit by ransomware, for example, or somebody's computer was hit by lightning. But there's another option, where things are a bit more like Dire Wolf. For the PDF. It's open source. It's community based. - Sumatra PDF comes to mind, amongst myriad others. These options are maintained by a diverse group, and the knowledge and resources to keep them running are distributed, published, and maintainable. My concern is that the community is becoming over-reliant on an extremely fragile product. And I suppose, it's less of a call to add features to DireWolf and more of a call to consider developing an open source modem that's VARA compatible, so we don't end at that northern white rhino situation analogy that I keep harping on. But maybe there's no need at all. Maybe VARA should be allowed to live out its golden years in peace and solitude. Maybe a more adaptable creature, like ARDOP is the answer, and I should drop this whole crusade.

Generally speaking, if Direwolf could handle external TNCs over kiss this would open up a brand new world. Interfacing with LoRa, Robust Packet .....
from direwolf.
According to https://pslara.org/docs/314.D.pdf , page 22, VARA FM has the ability to use KISS over TCP.
The direwolf development branch ("dev") now has the capability to map a virtual channel to an external TNC over TCP KISS.
The example given is for LoRa, but VARA FM, or any other modem supporting TCP KISS should work.

Give it a try and tell us how it worked out.
