I have a packet "quick setup guide" at:
http://home.comcast.net/~k9jkm/ARISS_Packet_How_To/

This discusses contacting ISS with an external hardware TNC.  Hopefully
others can point you toward the tips and tricks of sound card packet setups.

The web page at http://www.ariss.net/ provides a convenient ISS packet log
so you can review activity.  http://www.findu.com/cgi-bin/pcsat.cgi is a
similar log for PCSAT (NO-44) but its been a couple of weeks since we got a
brap from that bird.
