So if you see any packets from me in a few months dont get excited...
I'll probably be using my VK callsign for a few years when I move
(Pretty sure the FCC says thats okay)

I'm pretty sure that XNET offers DAMA access, as it generally emulates
FlexNet with the addition of a few additional features. I don't keep up with
the XNET news, but I'm sure there is a Linux version of XNET. I've been
warned that XNET is buggy - but I haven't taken the time to confirm or deny
any of that. In fact, my last experience with XNET was several years ago and
what I did back then set it up and verify that it worked. I didn't really
give it much of a workout on the air, so I can't tell you much about that.
If it does a good job of emulating Flexnet, it should be an outstanding
performer.

I know there is some packet activity in East Texas, but none of those guys
have a web-site about what they do - at least not that I've been able to
find.

I live in the extreme southern tip of Texas, and on "band opening" days when
I can bridge the gap up to the Corpus/Sinton area it is then possible to
node-hop all the way up the gulf coast into Lousianna and then Arkansas.
Part of that routing passes through the area you mentioned, I believe.
