Mike,

You are correct in that. Some Sysops like myself feature ham radio as
one of the themes.
At one time, I was able to have a "Amateur Radio Packet Door" on the
BBS, but for some reason lately, the terminal node controller (TNC -- a
modem for ham radio), thinks there is a connection in progress, when
there's not. So I had to remove it from the BBS. But, when it worked,
the ham radio Sysop could allow verified users who were also ham radio operators
to access the packet network, courtesy of his TNC.
