Rather than lay out cash for a packet system that may turn out to be
unsuitable to your needs, start out by exploring packet via the internet.
There probably is an internet/packet gateway in your area that you can
telnet and log into. This should give ample tcpip access to nearby
stations. (Follows shamless plug -) Until you find a local gateway, your
are welcome to telnet into my Arizona system at 206.26.122.17. Type 'tutor'
for information on system use. From there you should be able to connect
back into your general area.
