Nope, mostly HF (under 30mhz) gear at 300baud. Yes, you read that right. I've seen a couple shorter hops of fractional T1 on 900mhz or 9600baud AX.25 on 144mhz, but there just aren't enough links to use line of site frequencies. Push mad bits, -Jack Carrozzo On Thu, May 26, 2011 at 10:34 AM, Chr

Me personally? No, but I have used it. IP over 9600baud serial actually isn't that bad for IRC when you're in the middle of the woods and all. You want slow... read about winlink2000, the email/messaging system for hams and emergency response. It's PSK on HF, meant to be reliable but if you get mo

Used to run IP over AX.25 using KA9Q JNOS back in the day. HF at 300 baud simplex / half-duplex and VHF 144 Mhz at 1200 with similar characteristics. I bought some 9600 baud gear at one point but never got it all put together before moving on to the regular internet and (somewhat unfortunately) n

Yeah, so... the thing is there really are benefits to ham radio for the community. I 100% believe in that. And yes, there are a lot of neck beards but, honestly, look at some pictures from a NANOG meeting! ;) I have been massively inactive in Amateur Radio for some time. I miss it. However I

Since we are turning the clock backI launched my first AX.25 node in 1985 when I was living at Ft. Belvoir, VA. It was part of the 144 MHz "eastlink" network that ran from Maine to Miami. Somewhere on a 5-1/2" floppy disk I have an ASCII map of that network. You really could hear the p

Sorry, poorly worded. What I was wondering is there is an equivalent of KA9Q for IPv6. I believe one of the comments we got back when we were trying to reclaim 44/8 was that folks couldn't migrate to IPv6 because no software was available... We've come a little way since NOS. Linux has nati
