Just do a C[ONNECT] to the far end node (ex. C KC6POB-1). Once connected, type
back and forth as a normal conversation. Disconnect to terminate the session.
It's that easy!

Yes, I'm a packet newb. I just got my VHF packet system running
(817/Signalink USB/Laptop/AGW/PacTerm) and can connect to a couple of local
BBS.
But I would like to understand how to actually do a keyboard to keyboard QSO
using packet. I assume this does NOT go through a BBS. I've ready about
'keyboard to' but cannot find actual instructions about how to actually go
about it. I have a willing friend ham on the other end that will work with me.
Eventually I'd like to incorporate PacLink and Thunderbird and make that same
keyboard-to-keyboard QSO using the Thunderbird Email client interface.
Thanks for any pointers, URLs, docs.
Mike
