I dunno.  I suppose one has to define "fun" and "interesting"
here; I've got a bunch of old systems set up and connected to
AX.25: this made sense to me because systems designed in the
teletype era of computing probably work pretty well in bandwidth
constrained environments like amateur radio.

Literally no one other than me _ever_ uses them.  It's a shame.

The only real use for packet radio around me seems to be NTS
traffic handling; there's nothing wrong with that, of course,
but it _could_ be so much more.

Oh well.  At least I wrote up some details about my setup a
while back:  https://kz2x.radio
