digipeating, like email. another is to use the bbs systems. the harrdware
setups
are many. I use a smart modem, also called a terminal node controller, or TNC,
and a pc to run the modem. the transciever is a 2-meter rig. the softare on
the
pc is a vt100 terminal emulator, and the tnc is either a MFJ1278 or a PK232.
They have all the software on rom, and do the whole thing.
There are nodes and bbs's in your area, and lots of info on webpages.
try this one, the Tucson amateur packet radio organization.
