PACKET OPERATION
Packet is a unit of data transmitted as a whole from one
computer to another on a network.  Packets can be
transmitted on radio waves as well as on
communications lines.  Besides a transceiver and a
computer, all you need is a terminal node controller
(TNC).  A TNC converts packets to audio tones and vice
versa as one of its tasks.  This transceiver has a built-in
TNC.
