KM4BOE. Located in Florida.
I am aware that internet tunnels can be used, my interest is to see if
there are any other stations within range i can link up with by radio.
I don't want to rely on an ISP. With the latest hurricane and the
utility's being knocked out all over, i wanted to see if there were
others nearby i could network to to keep in communication. I am
familiar with the BBS built into my tnc, i was looking to host a more
capable BBS off my computer accessible by radio.

Hello, I posted here a while back but have not made much progress.
Hi Devin,
The wiki contains lots of instructions:

The portal is where you can request an address allocation:

Many folks use AMPRnet to connect a BBS to other BBSs worldwide, using AXIP
(AX.25 over IP) links.
You don't need much hardware. Some create a separate gateway on a small,
separate linux machine. This can be advantageous if you have more than one
physical server behind the gateway. Some create the gateway on the same
linux machine that runs their BBS. It just depends on what you want to do.
BTW, most hams sign their emails using their call sign.
