The problem with packet here was the user frequency was being over ran by BBS's automatic fowarding and that's what drove off all the users. 1200 baud would work if the network was set up right. For our county-wide ARES/RACES operation we have a four-node local network that uses four VHF packet frequencies (1200 baud) and four pairs of UHF frequencies (9600 baud), the latter for inter-node and backbone automatic forwarding. We have about 40 users - ten "served agencies" and thirty individual participants. The net is "up" 24/7 and carries a fair amount of inter-user messages -- classic ham radio traffic handling. Several of us including myself have a dedicated radio/TNC/computer running 24/7 just for this purpose. No reason that it can't work. -- 73 de K2ASP - Phil Kane From a Clearing in the Silicon Forest Beaverton (Washington County) Oregon Well, the problem here was the operators of the BBS's were told to move their fowarding to the backbone system but they wouldn't. So the guy who ran the vast majority of nodes here in the state of Illinois got basically ****ed off and turned the whole system off. that was back around 1998. I think a newer system would work instead of the "old" packet system. First the Speed 1200 baud is ok, it work. However, I think if amateur's could figure out how these wireless networks work and apply that to the amateur radio service. Instead of having a bunch of "nodes" going across the United States on a radio frequency have only a "Local Access" point say on a 2 meter frequency which would go from that node through the internet and backout on 2 meters. Instead of having traditional BBS software remove it and use a Peer to Peer (P2P) this would be more practical in the sense that all a person has to do is search for something and get a list. A bbs would inpractical because in sense that a person would have to monitor the hard driveand clean it out when it gets full and BBS's uses fowarding while a P2P system there is no fowarding all the forsale stuff and stupid jokes stays in the users share file. Just an Idea....
