Hello Adi,
A few ideas for you:
- The LinuxHams list at linuxham@groups.io is also a good place though most of the traffic there is about Fldigi
- The Xastir list at xastir@xastir.org is a very strong APRS group (APRS client side) as is the aprx-software@googlegroups.com APRX group (APRS server focus)
- If you're interested in packet from a Raspberry Pi / SBC perspective, check out the Raspberry_Pi_4-Ham_RADIO@yahoogroups.com list
- There is also the LinuxHam list at linux-hams@vger.kernel.org but it's not very active other than posting / discussing Linux AX.25 kernel patches
There are other lists as well such as BPQ32 (BBS centric), Direwolf (software TNC), TNC-Pi (hardware TNC), JNOS, etc.

(Please trim inclusions from previous messages) _______________________________________________ Is there a good forum to discuss packet, AX.25 and such things? After some 20 years of abstinence from packet I am really interested in getting something going. In my area APRS is alive and well, but packet on VHF or UHF is dead and has been dead for a long time. Lots of equipment is still out there, such as KPC-3 and the like, just not being used.
Although I am very interested in getting packet going again, I have no idea where to start. Got hardware to spare, but where to start? What’s out there for software (OpenBCM, JNOS, BPQ32, what else?)…
I realize that this is probably not the avenue to discuss, but perhaps someone can point me in the right direction of where to start looking, where to ask.
Thanks, Adi
