Airmail over HF with Pactor

Anybody uses Airmail over their HAM radio via Pactor ??
I am setting up a new shack(mobile) with PC control
and am planning to install an email solution when
Next G is out of reach. I am not so much interested
in the private networks because I also want to be able
to use it outside OZ (on our cat).

Some time back I was evaluating my options and find it
absolutely over the top that the private networks require
commercial grade transceivers to be legal.

I have decided
to stay with HAM and find this the much better and more
economical option not to say flexible.

If you use Pactor and Airmail, which controller do you use ?

Also what control software do you use for your transceiver or
do you tune manually ??

thanks
