   Thought I bring up something new?

  I had found this from one of the news group (tin).

SNOS: Simple Network Operating System
http://w0rli.home.att.net/

SNOS is software to link tcp/ip into the existing AX.25 BBS store and 
forward network. SNOS gateways Bulletins to and from News Articles and 
Email to and from Personal Messages. It is not intended to be used as a 
BBS itself, but rather to run as a service to Windows, linking the usual 
Windows messaging applications to the existing AX.25 BBS store and 
forward network. It can also run in DOS on a separate machine.

Quoate from teh news group..
"If you run SNOS it is pretty simple :-)

Put the access point / router / ethernet bridge into
your IP subnet, use FD as the SSID, choose channel 6,
turn off encryption. SNOS will do the rest and will automagically
create IP, AX.25 and NET/ROM links between you and
any other system you can hear. Then use the usual
packet radio exchange. SNOS takes care of the ID issue.

Yes I've tested this and yes it works.

A 2 or 8 watt amplifier and gain antenna will help ..."
