Packet Nets
       No doubt I am typical of alot of amateur ops. I received my
'ticket' in high school, and slowly fell away from amateur radio
during the 'college' years. Although I still get QST and all of the
related information, I very very rarely 'fire up' the rig.
       Interests now center around computer related things (!),
although I have been looking for a nice marriage of these two
topics. Oscar activities seemed like a possibility for awhile, however
nothing was ever done. More recently, I have been interested in
radio networks.
       It appears as if several packet switching amateur radio nets
are up and running now. I would like to ask those familar with them
to provide some information on their operation and functions.
Speaking for myself, there is nothing more I would like to do than
get my UNIX machines networked over an amateur radio path. Maybe
someone can comment on the legal aspects of such a system, in terms
of the amateur radio 'hobby' requirements.
       In any case, the creation of this news group is a very good
idea, I will be watching quite closely.
