General Packet Information

Try these general information sites. Just remember that most are fairly outdated. They also will probably refer to "TNC" which of course can be replaced with "AGWPE's Sound Card Mode", and any references to TNC "settings" or "commands" generally will not be applicable to AGWPE.
