Thanks for all the replies. Boy, that seems waay too easy for something 
related to digital packet (ha ha).  I'll give it a try soon.

 Mike...  You can also put your TNC in Converse mode.  This will allow you to 
 transmit in the blind like calling CQ or just announcing you are 
 Listening.  There should be Converse mode for your TNC.  Good luck,

 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.
