    From Richard@va6re@telus.net to alt.ham-radio.packet on Sun Sep 25 21:22:31 2005
    From Newsgroup: alt.ham-radio.packet

    Hello to all.
    Where are all the packet stations I was used to hearing in the 80's seems
    like the rtty has taken over.
    I would like to hear from someone that still is running
    packet, especially BBS sysops. Also are there any packet programs that would work with a pentium ?
    at this time all I would need is a packet software to get on the air.
    Any information on this subject is greatly appreciated.

    Hello,

    Seems that you gooogled a lot...

    As I think you are still running Windows these are Windows oriented
    programs.
    search for: - paxon (packet/pactor terminal program)
    - wpp3.10 or 3.15 (packet terminal/APRS program)
    - flex32
    - openbcm
    - tnc2-multi tnc7-multi (multi-baudrate hardware)
    - uspacket.org (packet oriented homepage)

    If it'is just to taste a little bit of packet, there is also winpack and agwpe, but these two issues are not really user/packet-net friendly.
    Especially agwpe (kind of wannabe flexnet) which doesn't perform very
    well...

    There are other nets on 15 and 17 meters.. That I do nothave info handy for one is 1200 Baud NBFM Packet I believe on 15 Meters
    ad 9600 Baud PSK Packet Forwarding on 17... But I could have my facts wrong,,,
    There are other nets as well that I am only linked to via others on our nets that are on these other nets.. I may be able to direct you... As Oliver said... Try www.uspacket.org
    www.w9otr.org Our local Digital Club.
    www.n9lya.com is my personal site.

    I can get you a copy of PaKet6.2 it is a DOS program that will run in Windows.. and any pentium... But does not run in WINXP unless you set compatabilty mode.....

    Please let me know how i may be able to help...
