The following is a graphic representation of Packet Radio links which
are believed to exist on 145.010 MHz on the East coast of North America,
from the U.S./Canadian border to Miami, Florida. Included are
digipeaters, PBBSs, and home stations usually left on for digipeating.
The primary routes used for mail forwarding in EASTNET are marked with
asterisks (*). Those links in which Are marked with a question mark (?)
indicate a link of unknown reliability. If you have any information
which would confirm that they are reliable are if you see any indicated
links which are known to be either unreliable or non-existent please
drop the keeper of the maps (K1HTV) a note by EASTNET mail (PBBS), U.S.
mail, or a phone call.

Thought this would be an interesting peek into packet history.
It truely is incredible how sophisticated the packet network was
prior to the Internet.
