Packet Radio
aka “that weird AX25 kernel module that I never compile”
Multiple connections on the same frequency
Has error correction and handshaking
Can send messages to BBS and repeaters
No longer needs expensive external TNC box; can operate through sound card.
Notes:
HERE BE DRAGONS: I don't use Packet, and only know one person who does. It was pretty popular before wireless became what it is today.
