Hello Matt,

  I am helping put together a packet training class here in Las Vegas 
for later in Sept.  If you could send me copies of any of your notes, 
slides, handouts, topics, etc. I would love to add them to our class.

  I especially would be interested in learning what your planned use 
of packet radio is.  Specifically, what software, PBBSs, etc will you 
be recommending people use?  Will you be sending bulletins, messages, 
keyboard to keybaord, multiple streams, etc.

Thank you,
Byon, N6BG
