#  RB>I would like to see AR and the BBS medium combined in a
#  RB>project...

#  Easy.   Ever heard of "packet radio" ???    It's the latest thing among
#  amateur radio operators who are also knee deep into their own personal
#  computer as well.   Basically, packet radio is the same as BBS'ing in many
#  ways - except phone lines are not used!   The data is transmitted VIA a pack
#  modem with is hooked up to ones transciever.   A wonderful idea, eh?   Alot 

#  would make it difficult.   The best I can do for you from here is to give yo
#  this address:

#  Assistant Secretary,
#  Licensing Policy & Operations,
#  RF Management Division, PO Box 6444,
#  St Kilda Road Central, Melbourne, Victoria
#  3004. Tel:03 266 8921.   Telex:37503.

I spoke to these people a few years ago, and got the impression that it
was illegal to send data - at least on citizen bands.  Will get in contact with
them again and ask about packet radio provisions in Oz.

#  Good luck, and thanks for your reply!    If I can do anything, or answer any
#  questions, please send more e-mail in this conference!

Thanks for that - will pursue it and keep you informed...

Cupla questions though:
Do two operators have to do a "manual" link up each time a packet is sent,
and what sort of baud (or equivalent) are we talking about?
