Hello Kurt!

AX.25 and APRS seem to be related. I have a friend who manages
several APRS nodes. But, the throughput seems to be 1200bps at
best. Perhaps the medium is simply not sustainable for today`s
echomail volumes.

I`ve heard of people experimenting with it in the past. In
light of growing censorship and control of the internet, packet
radio seems like a timely medium to revisit.
