Thank you, thank you, thank you. For all the advice and comments.

I have both packet and VARA FM working on the test gateway.
?
Tonight I installed COM Port splitter software and set up two com ports. I linked Soundmodem and VARA FM to these ports. I sent and received messages, some with templates, in both packet and VARA FM. I was even able to send and receive short messages with a? Baofeng? UV-5R and Digirig in the client station.
?
Now I need to spend some time reading other recommended information and do some tweaking. Some of club members may be interested in separate packet and VARA FM gateway stations.

Thanks so much for your help.
