Hey Wolfstag,
I'd love to get this conversation going.   I have quite a bit of experience
with packet.

My goal with my BBS system is to offer 1200bps VHF, 9600 UHF and HF packet
interfaces to the BBS.  The packet to BBS interface isn't the complicated
thing for me, what's holding me back is the tower for the VHF/UHF antennas,
and the General license to transmit on HF (other than 10 meter privileges as
a Tech)

I'd like to identify some type of project app that we can link up here on
fsxnet that would allow us to map out, together, a project management type
system to draft the system requirements, and various hardware tnc's, software
tnc's, raspberry pi's and such to kick this project off.

I could have an operational prototype up on HF (10 meters) as a test system
in a matter of weeks, obviously 40 meters would be a much better band for
this, however that would require me to study :)

This topic really excites me, and I have transceivers, hardware tncs, etc. 
The only thing is I would like to use a raspberry pi with perhaps a TNC-X.

There is another gentleman that joined my BBS locally that also has a passion
for getting this setup as well that will be interested to get this off the
ground.
