Paracon is a packet radio terminal for Linux, Mac and Windows. It is focused on simplicity and ease of use, and incorporates the core functionality that most packet users need without trying to include all of the bells and whistles that few would use.

Multiple simultaneous AX.25 connected mode sessions, allowing for connections to multiple BBS or other remote nodes. Unproto (UI, or datagram) AX.25 mode, allowing for keyboard-to-keyboard chat or other non-connected uses. Text-based console application looks and behaves the same on all supported platforms (Linux, Mac, Windows). Uses the AGWPE protocol to communicate with any server implementing that protocol. Tested and supported with Direwolf, ldsped and AGWPE. Self-contained executable requires only a Python installation to run, without the need to install any additional dependencies.
