I realize the primary use of ham radio is communication with other hams, but
I hear about people doing different things over ham radio and it sparks my
interest. So, all I am doing is investigating. Being new to ham radio, I
don't know ALL the rules -- whether defined by hams or the FCC.

At the moment I'm running 300, 2 x 1200 and 2400 baud ports (at once).
There is no upper limit on baud rate and you can use full duplex if you want
to.
Full duplex is a standard TNC feature. All you need is a seperate TX and RX
per
port. But it wouldn't make any difference to wether or not you could connect
to the
internet anyway.
The good bit about amateur radio is that you can do anything you like within
reason
and the regs.
The big problems with faster baud rates are getting around to doing it and
finding
someone else to do it with. I'm still waiting to find someone to do 9600bd
tests with.

Well put.
And the telephone line is not a substitute for amateur radio.

I think you mean amateur radio is not a substitute for the telephone
line -- and I agree. The one question I have is will packet still be
popular in the years to come? Packet sounds exciting, but on a 16
year-old's budget, a TNC can be quite expensive.
