To start with, let me first say that I really don't know
anything about networking and not much about packet (yet).
After reading the discussions about the various approaches
to handling the network protocol, I have one (probably
naive) question: How will all this affect me?
More specifically, if I go out and buy a TAPR (or similar)
TNC, what do I have to do to be able to connect to
Joe Blow in Anytown, USA. Will I have to be registered
with someone who controls a net? Will he? As I understand
things currently, I have to know which digipeaters I want
to hit to connect to him. Will I still have to know this?
I'm just a little concerned that, know that I have almost
figured out how packet works, I'm going to have to spend the
next 2 years studying network theory to find out how to talk
to someone.

Of course we have backup tapes. Do you want last year or the
year before?
