I'll attempt a direct reply to Borja via Usenet, but I thought I'd post a
general reply here.

AX.25 is the X.25 variant developed by amateur radio operators for packet
radio.  (I'm still learning, but I gather that the main differences are in
node identification, to satisfy legal requirements for amateur radio
transmitters.)  The amateur packet radio network includes low-speed, long-haul
HF (3 to 30 MHz) links, and high-speed, local-area VHF and UHF links.

I am interested in such a proposal.  I'm planning to acquire a packet
interface for my HF rig in a few weeks.  At present I have no VHF capability,
alas.

Incidentally, in June I sent a similar proposal back with Igor Agamirzian of
the Forthinfo coop in Leningrad, and he has forwarded it to the Soviet
amateurs' magazine "Radio."

Anyone else interested in this?
