[FARC] For Prospective Packet Users

[Joseph M. Durnal]

Hi Kirk,

That was a pretty good presentation.  Outpost looks pretty neat.  I'll
have to give it a test when (well, if) I ever get around to getting my
packet station setup.  Right now I'm using everything to get setup for
the hike across Maryland.  What I hope to do use the D700 with APRS on
one side, and an external TNC on the other, giving me a packet node
and APRS on the same radio.

I do think that packet tends to intimidate people.  Even without fancy
software, it is easy enough to use from the keyboard and terminal
window.

When using APRS & Winlink, I think some people are using packet but
they don't even realize it!
