They're wrong. WinLink falls exactly under the description of automatic 
operation in 97.221:

1. there is no control operator present at the (Winlink server) station 

2. The (Winlink server) station is responding to interrogation by a station 
under local or remote control

Dave,

On this page, the winlink organization argues that they DO NOT fall into the 
"automatic" category.

Remotely controlled stations and automatically controlled stations are
separately characterized in 97.109:

<http://www.w5yi.org/page.php?id=119>

I've not found a strong definition of either  remotely controlled stations
and automatically controlled stations in part 97, but
97.109 makes it clear that they are not the same thing.

Dave,

I hope you are right.  But it seems to me that the case (auto vs. remote
control stations are two different beasts) is contingent on either the FCC
having explicitly defined these two things in such a way that existing law
already supports their difference.

Do we know if the FCC has a definition on the two?

Automatically controlled stations are not remotely-controlled stations, and
vice versa; thus section IV would not enable the use of
2800 hertz for automatically controlled stations.

My understanding is that WinLink servers are automatically controlled
stations. If my interpretation is correct, these would remain
limited in bandwidth to 500 hertz.

If WinLink or any other network of automatically controlled stations are
advertising the availability of HF servers whose bandwidth
is greater than 500 hertz, I'd appreciate a URL.

      73,

Dave that looks like more lawyer type weasel words. It says it does not
change the status of AUTOMATICALLY controlled stations. Look at Sec. IV
where
the remotely controlled stations are permitted 2.8khz bw. I don't know how
many fully automatic stations are left on the air except for a few packet
operations, just another slightly misleading part of this monstrosity.
