[44net] Forum for Packet, AX.25

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
