Thanks, John. I recently acquired a BridgeBoard, also. Checked in Hamnet a while ago, and found it discouraging. Maybe I should just hook up the old H89 and get back to it. It's an early one, though, and quite dirty RF wise. Also have an Commodore 64 and used to hear it had a lot of programs. It's in a different room than the other computers and the ham gear, though. Also have a Tandy 102 and keep getting tempted to check out packet. My wife is also a ham, and I do some travelling. Could make it a fun way to keep in touch. With Cis and Cis >FAX available, though, it seems almost more trouble than we would use. And with a pay phone on every corner…. K7KB. Hmmmm. QTH? QTH here is Salt Lake City. 73, Chris

That's why I don't get on Packet much, seems a lot easier just to give my friends a buzz on the phone. Even if they are not home, most everyone I know has a answering machine. I've got a TNC and hook it up to my laptop when I get the urge to do some packeting. Yes there was a lot of Ham related software for the C64, and some of it quite nice. I think you will see more Amiga software in the future. I've been working on a project, and Ben seems to come up with some nice Ham software every once in awhile. I've been meaning to find out what is available in the UK and other European markets for Amateur Radio. Just haven't gotten around to it yet.
