And there is still an extensive packet network, with more nodes being deployed, in fact, there seems to be a resurgence of the mode, as folks have mentioned...but I have dropped my hardware TNC's in favor of software modems that are more robust, less current drain, less birdies, and options that were only dreamed about back in packets hey-day thanks to uz7ho, uronode,bpq,FBB, Direwolf to name just a few...and these are actively being maintained..in fact, I may have forgotten a few others...packet is alive and well, and not just as aprs nodes...and with the advent of very inexpensive computers like the pi, arduino, etc etc, it's a LOT of fun and I see a lot of newcomers, even on slow old 300 baud HF daily...there *has* been experimentation with higher data rates on HF, but our archaic laws prevent us from going much faster than 300b on HF...9600b *is* doable on HF, but not legal below 28mhz...that law needs to be revised, hi hi! (and yes, TCP/IP also works on HF, but painful due to low 300b restriction) Cheers, John

A lot of miss information going on here...
That's two TNCs... Still in production.... Any more probably...

I'd LOVE a 9K6+++ modem but they just don;t seem to be available.
SCS TNC tracker (http://www.p4dragon.com/en/Modems.html#widget4) and the sound card modes such as DireWolf and UZ7HO now claim to support 19,200 so 9600 should be doable.
