In this case, Dave .. chuckle ...
DD> My son left monday to study in Japan for 10 months. Given the expensive
DD> phone rates between here and Japan I sought a way to use the internet to
DD> keep in touch with him.
since the business of Morse Code isn't so important any longer, the two of you
could get ham licenses and talk for hours direct at zero per hour cost! Of
course it's a little late since he left Monday, and too, it's an open party
line. Thus confidential communications are out! But there's a lot of fun in
that game especially if two family members split by distance do have contact
like this.
As well, the cost of the toys isn't inconsiderable for long distance regular
work too .. sigh ...
I will note that finding OS/2 programs to work with for Packet, APRS, and other
digital dainties are few and far between ...
In humor here ... OK?
But ... since I've been one for almost 50 years now, I know there are some
advantages to being a ham operator .. and .. if turns out, to be a family with
more than one of them in it!!
--> Sleep well; OS/2's still awake! ;)
