Bob can you or anyone tell me if there are software TNCs for soundcards out there? I know almost nothing about APRS or even where to turn to get useful information. Unfortunately, buying a TNC is simply not going to happen at this time. I am a Linux user.

The abundance of ham radio software in Ubuntu is the direct result of the core group of Amateur Radio package managers in the upstream Debian project.
The Debian-Hams mailing list is always quiet, but active... and the group of hams using/supporting Debian (long before Ubuntu even existed as a down-stream/cross-stream distribution) has always been an impressive list of "who's who" in Amateur Radio... and Unix Operating Systems.
