HI, Doug:

Here is the URL for FPAC:

http://www.qsl.net/fpac/

I have not studied the FPAC  WebPages in quite some time.  Unless it has
been updated, you may find FPAC is not well documented - that is to say when
I started screwing around with it two years ago with the computer hardware
level of experienced I had at the time - I was lost.

That said, we now have enough folks maintaining FPAC switches that you can
put one up by following a simple receipt - follow the bouncing ball - and
then just asking for help with the fine tuning!  If you are well-experienced
with DOS, comport configuration, and getting TNCs to work with radios - it
will be a snap.  I had a steep learning curve and I made it!

All you have to do is ask - either directly or put it on the FADCA or FPAC
reflectors.

If we could get an FPAC switch going in Tallahassee - we would then start
working the network eastward from there to tie in to Orange Park - in fact,
I think Russ, N4KOX, has a switch planned now west of OP.  Then on down to
Gainesville, Ocala, and to DeLand -

Bingo - State-wide from Tallahassee.

If there is anything at all I can do to help you with FPAC just ask.

73, and G.L.
