Hello,
I'm wondering if someone can help me. I am trying to make two computer =
talk to each other through a TNC with TCP/IP. So far I have found this =
web page http://www.mv.com/users/grebus/ and have followed all of the =
instructions on it successfully. The problem I am having is the =
connection of the TCP/IP , the application and the TNC. =20
Please help.
Thank you.

A number of Good Things just fell in place in my head. I'm sure you've
all contemplated each of these, but I don't think all 3 have actually been
done together.
1st concept is a wearable computer.
Second concept is the AX.25 internet connection concept -- hook up a
portable HAM radio to a wearable, and connect via radio waves (TCP/IP
encapsulated in AX.25) to a computer at your house, and route your
connection through to the internet via a dialup modem.
Third concept is encapsulating phone calles through a network like the
internet. You could do funky things like calling a local number, which
happens to be a computer, which connects to a remote computer, via the
internet, in the area code of the phone number you wish to connect to, and
encapsulates your phone call. No charge.: (login) session opened for user

These things all fell together when I was contemplating the flaws in cell
phones (air time charges disturb me).
If you could set up AX.25 trancievers on a wearable and a base unit, and
connect a sound card to a modem (or just use a voicemodem, I'm not sure
what their capabilities are), then you could have wireless, free air time,
full time connection to the internet, and the ability to make phone calls
(Would require 2 phone lines, voice being used intermitantly).
And I should mention the possibility of sharing gateways. Networking
gateways... I should stop here, the dream gets a bit extreem alonge these
lines... I doubt I'm the only one who's had these thoughts :)
There are, of course, problems. Getting a voice stream to a phone line
(which could actually be easy, I haven't looked into it), the current
bandwith constraints of AX.25 and the bandwith requirements of
bidirectional voice straeming.
But, you must admit, there's some pretty friggin cool possibilities here.
