--> I did some checking into this (quite a while back), when I wanted
    to set-up communications with my folks living in the Okanagan valley.
    I never did go forward with it (too much hassle/expense at the time);
    but I did find out that the C=64 crowd had vast amounts of experience,
    software, knowledge, hardware that covered packet radio. Not that
    this is any help for the Apple 2 line (which is what I used, as well),
    but there's probably info in that camp that may be of `generic' use
    regarding packet radio and 8-bit computers, that you may find of use.
    As well - mayhaps others here on the A2 NG may have more specific
    info.  Perhaps trying: +"packet radio" +Apple  on Google, may help.
