Might be considered "fuddy-duddy", but I like the good ole KPC-3 for standard packet and APRS. Plug-n-play for the most part. I use one for APRS mobile with Delorme Streetmap (old version about 1986?). I have a slew of them on remote mountain-tops as digi-peaters.
Of course for high-speed digital modes then one will need something better. I have MixW2 and AGWPE, etc. that work well for the high-speed telemetry data. For above 9.6 one is more challenged to find a wide-band radio.
But alas I am not an expert here! :-)
73, Ed Hoping soon to report the AO-40 antenna system back in service. Cool wx and short dark days kind of keeping me inside!

Despite all the good comments about software based "soundcard" solutions, a solid TNC is still a good recommendation especially with higher speeds.
Look at the "TNC7multi" that can be equipped with modems up to 104K4. You will find more information here:
http://www.tnc7multi.de/index.html
The pages are in German. However you can find the English manual in the download section.
The TNC runs of a USB or serial port. Your choice.

I would like to get into the digital sats and would like some ideas on TNC to consider. I looked at the MFJ web site but it appears they have discontinued many of their models. Also looking KAM but have no idea which one to pick. Appears major deltas are baud rates 1200 vs 9600.
Thanks for any ideas or things to consider.
