So for local packet work I was using Outpost which was the easiest path to
take - it sets up a pretty basic terminal / tnc that works in conjunction with
direwolf via AGWPE if I remember correctly. Where I live packet is really
tough as the closest BBS is just on the edge of what I can reach with my
current configuration.

For the ISS I started playing around with UISS which helps manage the very
tight constraints of a pass. But I've also been able to decode packets on just
my HT's build in APRS functionality. I also managed to use an Android app
called APRS droid along with a cheap Yaesu HT! Even managed to reach the
station with the rubber duck!
