Chuck KP4DJT, Charlie K4GBB, and Charlie N3PPC - (the two of a kind, Chuck 
high) - I want to introduce you to Jack KB9LEB from Port Orange, FL.

Jack is on the 145.05 DAB LAN and has all the WL2K programs working - his 
extensive packet experience is 10 years old - but he got the WL2K stuff all 
working in just a few hours!

Jack works for the City of Edgewater (20 miles east of me) and is working on 
getting the city on the Layered Packet Network with a couple of Telpac nodes 
and Paclink AGW at the EOC.

Here is the awful part: Jack has six years of active LINUX experience - 
Geeeezzzeee.. he's one of you!

I would appreciate your sharing your efforts/results with Jack- he has 
volunteered to work with N3PPC to help get LINUX working here on the three 
switches in E. Central Florida - once you have that magic CD install 
working!

I still have the Orlando DOS FPAC here at my shack- so it is a good 
candidate for N3PPC and KB9LEB to use as a test bed since I can be here to 
watch it and scream 'HELP' when it starts smoking.

My hope is we can have LINUX FPAC working routinely on the Orlando switch 
before we move it to Orange County.  Then all I have to do is load the LINUX 
CD at the DeLand site.  The DAB ROSE site will need a laptop - which I have 
and we have tested on Knopix.

Haven't heard much about LINUX lately -
