HI Lowell, 
 
My packet station is not on line all the time.  I only have one radio and 
I use it at home, school and while I travel.  I only use the packet as 
needed.  A person can leave a packet station on all the time if one so 
chooses.  However, there is no need to do so as your local node is 
usually affiliated with a Packet BBS.  You use it essentially the same 
way as you do these land line BBSs.  They are a little more versitile in 
that you can do satalite work with them.  They are slower in getting 
messages from here to there over long distances such as across the 
country or around the world ( as compared with K12).  But the price is 
right.  There is no cost for connects or phone line time.
 
If I can answer any other questions, let me know. I have just started a 
K12 node in my classroom in Lincoln City.
