Yes you might be a little paranoid there magicglock, but that's your right. :lol:

Many people here use their proper names without fear. The Founder of the forum uses his PLUS posts his picture(as many other forum members do as well).
I post my real name, my picture, and my call, and I'm not real worried.

We (hams) were running AX25 packet protocol (internet standard digital transfer systems) that we (TAPR) developed on VHF and UHF long before Al Gore invented the internet! :lol: as well as the repeater systems adapted by cell phone companies 20 years after we did, etc. It was the tinkerers that put this stuff into operation, not the corporate thinkers......

Enjoy!
You do have to remember that the AX.25 protocol is an offshoot of the X.25 protocol, which was developed for packet networking some years before.

And of course, we should not forget the first true network engineer, Claude Chappe, who developed and implemented his network in the 1790s!
