Hello Gene, I don't claim much expertise here, but my understanding is that the low speed data stream that runs concurrent with digital voice, less forward error correction is the same stream that carries drats, or d*chat or dterm. The applications like drats better utilize this stream and add features. With a simple terminal program you can send lines of text hither and to over the low speed stream. The applications add function to the terminal program. This stream starts out at 1200 b/s but some of this throughput is used for overheads leaving an effective speed of around 1kb/s. The low speed stream is the same on the IC91, 92, 800, 2820, etc.
This is not the same as the high speed data stream used on 23cm's for internet connections and networking. Your mileage may vary and I may be wrong.
