+About Packet Radio and TNT
+
+Packet-Radio is a special mode used by Radio Amateurs to transfer text and
+data over a radio link. Packet-Radio, as the name suggests, is packet
+orientated and uses the AX.25-protocol, a special version of X.25
+to fit Ham Radio needs.
+
+The interface between the radio transceiver and terminal/PC is called
+a Terminal Node Controller (TNC). It implements the AX.25 Protocol and
+consists of a micro-controller, a radio modem and RS232 interface.
+
+Special firmware such as WA8DED-Software and 'The Firmware' by NORD><LINK,
+which is available for most TNC's, make use of the hostmode protocol via
+the RS232-interface. The advantage of the hostmode is that it gives a
+PC control over the TNC. It allows applications to implement features
+which are not available in terminal mode.
+
+TNT (TNc Terminalprogram) is a terminal program which takes advantage
+of the hostmode protocol implementing features such as virtual screens
+for multiple traffic channels and various interfaces to other software
+packages such as tfkiss, dpbox and much more.
