HFTerm (for linux) < URL:http://sourceforge.net/projects/hfterm > does 
Pactor I Tx and Rx.

Some HAL Communications products, including the DXP-38, support Pactor, 
which they call "P-mode".  You can also buy old AEA PK-232MBX TNCs 
cheaply at hamfests and you-know-where, and later versions of the 
PK-232MBX included Pactor I. If your is older, Timewave will sell you 
the upgrade EPROMs that include Pactor.  Some Kantronics multimode TNCs 
also support(ed) Pactor I.
