LF: Off topic: Packet radio

["Mike Dennison" <mike.dennison@ntlworld.com>]

Can any of you knowledgable people tell me whether packet radio is 
still used on the bands now. Has it been overtaken by email/text? Is 
there a D-Star text service instead? Is it perhaps on VHF/UHF but not 
HF?

I was very involved with the early days of packet radio, but when I 
last looked at it (about 10 years ago) it had not changed/developed 
at all.
