You might be thinking of Winlink2000, but it doesn't use repeaters, although I guess it could. It is very much like packet, but you would set up a node, which could be a laptop computer and a radio, and you can send/receive Email using your Email client (like Outlook). What it does (as I understand), is your message will hop from node to node until it finds one with an internet connection, at which point it enters the internet.
I've been through a couple of lectures on winlink, but I still don't really understand it, and I think the only way I could is to build one. That isn't likely to happen soon, with all the irons I have in the fire now!
