 Ro> Boy, I wish I had linked up fsxNet sooner, I missed a great

Always happy to continue the conversation where packet is involved! :) 

 Ro> Packet is alive and well here in Maine, and we're linked into New

Not much in my area of Canada, but across the lake in Ohio there appears to
be some activity. I just ordered a couple of very nice but pricey TNC cables
so I can start setting something up. I am hoping to link into Ohio since I am
only 5 minutes from Lake Erie.

Thats pretty cool. I have a radio telescope in my back yard so I wrote a door
to access statistics and get the status of it. At one point I had it so I

I thought about maybe setting up a door as a ham gateway myself, even if it
is just me that uses it. :)

Nice to her from you!
