Is packet radio dead? Has the proliferation of Internet and Cell Phones
made it so meaningless that no one is doing anything anymore?

The lack of activity in this group may more reflect the death of
Usenet than anything else. Very few Usenet sites exist outside
of Universities and commercial providers these days.

There are still people experimenting with the Internet protocols
(TCP/IP, etc) over ham radio. Little of it takes place at 1200 bps
anymore; most folk are running 9600 bps or faster, some are using
converted wireless equipment to achive multiple megabits ("HSMM"). And
there is the new 56kb/s digital radio from the folks in the northwest.
There are a lot of folks running Linux and many of these use the
soundcard in their computer as the modem - no TNC required.

For more info, check out the Linux-Hams mailing list, the TAPR
website http://www.tapr.org and the AMPRNet http://www.ampr.org.
