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.

Hi Devin,
The wiki contains lots of instructions: http://wiki.ampr.org/wiki/Main_Page The portal is where you can request an address allocation: https://portal.ampr.org/
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.
