 The Network Nodes on 145.05..

If you can connect to any single node on the list, then in theory, you can connect to any other node on the list.
Here is an explanation of what is listed in the table. Take the BERRY3 node for example:

BERRY3:WA6QPU-3} Routes:
0 K6JAC-4 192 24!
1 N6QWU-1 190 2!
1 W7POR-1 CVC 160 2!
1 WA6BAI 80 1!

The top line of each entry lists the Net Work Node's Name (BERRY) and Callsign (WA6QPU-3).
Below that is the other network nodes that it can connect to. Each line is a Network node that
can be connected to with a given connection quality. The first number is the Port. On the first line
above the Port is 0. The node is K6JAC-4 (BERRY) and the quality is 192. A quality of 192 is
a standard reliable connection. Less than 192 means poor reliability. Higher quality means hard wire
reliability. The last number is the number of additional nodes that particular route leads to. In this case
BERRY3 connecting to K6JAC-4 (BERRY) can connect to 24 additional nodes by that route. The
(!) means that the route's quality has been manually locked in.

FOR PORTABLE PACKET RADIO.... The Toshiba T1000SE laptop computer. These are the Sherman Tanks of old Laptop computes. They are perfect for portable packet. They appear on eBay for auction form $10 to $20+ and are well worth it! If you grew up with DOS, it will bring back fond memories of the Good Old Days. The Toshiba T1000SE's model number is PA8003U. They use a 7.2 Volt battery pack PA8812U and the AC adapter is PA8713U or the AC adapter PA8706U is a little larger, but will work also work. If you are really lucky, and can find a 2Mb memory card PA8312U, then you can create a 3Mb Hard Ram Drive and run just about any DOS based terminal program from the Ram Drive on them. Here are the specifications on the Toshiba T1000SE.

Here is a list of the files that are on the T1000SE's ROM:
