[comp.os.os9] ka9q, packet-radio?

rh2y+@andrew.cmu.edu (Russell E. Hoffman, II) (04/30/91)

After the success of the post asking about MIDI software for OSK, I'm
going to ask a similar question: What is available for OSK in the way
of packet-radio software, including AX.25, ka9q, TCP/IP, and the like?
I'd be interested in getting into packet radio, as I will be graduating
in two years, and hence will no longer have any way to get onto the
internet. Is there a port of the ka9q package yet? Is anybody interested
in doing a port if not? Would the Microware ISP be necessary to effectively
make use of packet radio under OSK? Also, can somebody possibly point
me in the right direction to get into packet radio? I'm not yet a licensed
amateur radio operator, but I think packet radio will provide the incentive
to study up and finally get my license (one of those things I've been
wanting to do for years now...)
Thanks for any information!
