     The more I'm thinking this project out, the more I think I am going to set up an APRS station at home.  Since I have cablemodem there, there is no reason that digi on our mountain site couldn't relay to my station and let me IGATE it.  

     Now correct me if I am wrong, but I think I need my MFJ TNC connected to my PC via a serial port and some piece of software to run as a process on my PC (I have Windows 2000 Professional on that PC and have no intention of downgrading it to XP, just my bias).  

     I think I remember that there were two pieces of software that might accomplish that.  What would you folks recommend for this?  And if I have missed something important here, please let me know.
