Hi Stephen.
You can find the repository here: https://gitlab.com/FoxyFoxie/pax25/
As mentioned, only the application layer has been built, with some shims
for the frame queue/connections/etc.
It is extensively documented, though there aren't diagrams. It includes
a walk-through tutorial on how to build your own app, and includes an
example BBS app that demonstrates its capabilities. The included BBS app
only took me a day or two to write in the library and does nearly
everything my TNC's built-in BBS does.
The getting started guide
<https://gitlab.com/FoxyFoxie/pax25/-/blob/master/documentation/contributing/development_setup.md>
will walk you through building the documentation for reading locally. If
you have any trouble with it, please file an issue so I can take a
closer look :)
Best,

Hey Fox,
Good afternoon. I remember chatting with you at a brews with BVARC
about a python library for ham comms that you were developing. Do you
have a GitHub repository or a SW architecture/block diagram of the
signal flow? Just wondering. BTW, this sounds really cool.

Hi Scott and Terry,
There are also a few persons (such as myself) running individual
nodes with things like BBSes. I'm currently working on some Python
libraries with a few friends to make some new custom AX.25 apps that
can do much more than packet radio has historically done. Right now a
first version of the application layer is working and a friend is
working on the protocol part.
In Houston, the big digipeater is named BIGBOY. You can usually
connect to most systems in the area through it using your TNC. I have
a node named 'FOXBOX' which you can contact through it. The command
on your node is likely to be something like:
c FOXBOX v BIGBOY
There's also another mailbox that a few people use run by K5PBM. It's
named PBMBOX. BIGBOY also has an address you can connect to as a jump
box, but I forget the name. It announces it every few hours or so.
This is all on 145.05, so if you were listening on another frequency,
you might not have found any of this.
Best,
-Fox

Scott, That's a perfect case for APRS digipeater works. You should
do some googling on that and see what special software interfaces
you need. I use a Tiny Tracker but it is offline for a while.
Long range I'm converting the Tiny Tracker to a Raspberry Pi HAM
digital utility but I don't have enough time to attend to it yet.
Still not retired.

Hi all,
I recently got setup for packet radio at the ham shack, but I haven't
found any good systems to connect to other than some Winlink nodes...
can anyone point me to some?
Thanks,
Scott KI5WLJ
