Hi Brian,
The latest version of PcPakRatt is 2.1 and that release is Y2K compatiable.
However it is only 16 bit. We have PkTerm '99 which is the only 32 bit
PK-232 software available that runs it in host mode.
You can download a demo copy, and play with the packet and RTTY modes at
http://www.cssincorp.com/pkterm
FTY, CSS owns both PakRatt and Pkterm.

you might take a look at some of the APRS programs. They
decode packet cluster data and put an icon on a world map
to show the DX.

Does anyone have any idea where I would be able to get my HAM radio TCP/IP
address from.
Thanks

Get ftp://ftp.ucsd.edu/hamradio/amprnets and have a look.

You want to get in touch with the "regional coordinator" for your
area. Where are you located?
However, it seems to me that you may be putting the cart before the
horse a little bit. What I recommend is that you get your station "on
the air", and get in contact with hams that are active on packet on the
band you want to use. They will be able to help you more than us here.
I'm curious, what band do you plan on using, and for what applications
will you use TCP/IP?
The problem with TCP/IP is that it has basically died on Amateur Packet
radio. The fact that there are restrictions on commercial content(the
level of restrictions is debatable), puts a big damper on trying to
hook into the Internet from portable devices - probably the most
desirable aspect of running TCP/IP thru radios. There is a new service
called MURS(Multi-Use Radio Service) that has just been approved by the
FCC. It does not require a license to operate, digital transmissions
ARE allowed, and they are not restricted to non-commercial
applications. If you haven't bought a radio yet - I would consider
looking into this.

This is true in some areas, not in others.
In some areas tcp/ip is alive and well..
If you are already on packet, you might check with wb1dsw or ka1rci.
They should be able to point you to the local coordinator, and
provide a good deal of information on how the network is structured.

Suddenly we have "using the tcp/ip protocol" mutated into
"connecting to the internet" and this is a problem because of
"commercial content". Huh?

Oh, I see, you are trying to divert hams from Ham Radio over
to some non-ham commercial service. What a Lid!

Here in Oklahoma City the case was that all the TCP/IP guys
physically died (RIP) :-)

Oh, I wouldn't say that. I got started in IP on 145.01 back in 1989
with a program called NET. We had it running into some KPC-4
dual TNC for UHF/VHF operation. It was kind of neat to send the
packet on UHF and get the ACK on VHF...
Then NOS came out and it was pretty neat. When I and a buddy
bought a Gracilis packeTwin system and a Tekk radio, we had a
16 mile link with some beams on them. We first started out with
the NetRom stuff, and then started playing with the UDP packets
and segmentation. We found that setting in a 1500 byte packet
and sending out 512 byte packets really moved the data. Basically
