A better solution would be to port Phil Karn's KA9Q package to the GS, since
it offers multi-window terminal sessions, file transfer, electronic mail,
interporability with net/rom and normal ax.25 connections, and better channel
access.  (This is espicially nice on noisy channels.)  I'd do it if I had
a GS, all I have now is a ][+, a //e with a not-very nice C compiler.
A GS can have enough memory to handle the package.

The KA9Q package has been ported from the PC to the Mac and Amiga, the GS
would be a useful machine to run it on, but I don't know if the APW C
compiler is up to the task.
