I remember reading a discussion about this recently -- does your
part 97 actually say you must use AX.25 for packet? That's a bit surprising.

There's no reason packet has to refer to AX.25 (generally speaking) as far 
as I can see, and even then you could come up with a similar mode
and call it something else. PACTOR/WinLink seems to offer some similar
functionality, and it's not packet nor AX.25.

Our regulations here in VK just list the emission modes we can use
and general identification requirements. No mention of AX.25.
