    Hi Wilbert,

    Thanks for the reply. Please let me know how have you managed to make
    your PACTOR to PACKET GATEWAY??? What do you use. Is there a
    WEB PAGE that describes it anywhere? I am very interested to see the
    way you have implemented it.

    Of course the best way is to have AX-25 Kernel talk to the PTC-II directly
    because then you have more options open.

    Thanks in advance.
