My first computer to computer over radio was a crude approach using the cassette interface on the Radio Shack Color computer connected to my 2 meter FM radio. A fellow ham in South San Diego had the other end of the link. We moved some software between the machines over the radio. Crude, but interesting. We used teletype on 220 MHz before the packet radio equipment arrived in useful form around 1985. The packet interfaces were later modified to carry TCP/IP over unnumbered AX.25 UI frames. Lots of experimentation and tweaking of protocols. Some of my ham buddies in packet radio went on to found Qualcomm.
