Celebrating #WorldRadioDay with the most portable OS on the planet. 🌍

Whether it's the embedded controller inside a vintage radio or the legendary NetBSD Toaster 🍞, the ham/ 📻category in #pkgsrc has you covered.

Why just make toast when you can transmit packets over the airwaves at the same time?

"Tom gingerly set the package down on his workbench. Resisting
the urge to tear the box open, he fumbled around for a knife and
hurriedly slit the tape running along the top. After opening the box
and removing the initial layers of packing material, Tom found what
he was looking for. Here was the object that he had spent the past
three days thinking about: his TNC, his gateway to the world of amateur packet radio."

OK, so last post I talked about #hamradio and #ax25. I said more on NET/ROM. Well, I thought NET/ROM would let me connect to a distant station that my station couldn't hear through some routing protocol.

It looks like it doesn't work that way?

Does anyone actually use this? It appears I have to connect to a node, and try to find a path manually to where I want to connect, if that's even possible at all. No concept of default routes, etc...

Gibt es hier zufällig jemanden, der back in the days (insert banjo music here) Packet Radio über CB-Funk (HAM ist auch ok) auf einem Amiga, ATARI ST oder irgendeinem 8bit-System gemacht hat?

Insbesondere würde mich interessieren, wie man die Baycom-Modems, die damals sehr populär im CB-Funk waren, an solchen Maschinen zum Laufen bringt. Ich hatte das damals an einem PC unter DOS.

Ich bereite einen Talk dafür vor und brauche noch ein paar Einblicke.
