Hello Paul,

Your comment that AX.25 and PACTOR are different protocols is what I expected.

My confusion is that all of the listed stations say PACTOR none say AX.25:

Just above the title bar of the table.. change the listed mode from "pactor" to "packet"

I have a nearby Ham club friend N5TW, who is on this list.? He is going to try to help me this weekend, but he is not a software person, so he can only help determine if he is receiving my signal.? The problem is that the list only shows him (as well as everyone else) running PACTOR.?

Once you see all the PACKET stations, then you need to think about which frequency you will be using, what directions your antenna works well / doesn't work well, and then don't forget about skip.? For example, if you're going to use 20m, then don't try to connect to a station close to you.. even in your own state.? Only try to connect to someone quite a ways from you.? If your antenna does 40m or 80m, then you can try closer in stations but only for the right time of day (80m is more of a night time band).

If Direwolf on AGWPE port 8000 is using AX.25 then how could this work?? Is there some other list of HF stations that use AX.25?? Even though the stations are listed as PACTOR do some also support AX.25?

Start playing around with that list and map.? Also check out VARA which is very popular these days with the Winlink crowd though please note that Direwolf doesn't support VARA.? VARA-FM (for HF) and VARA (aka VARA HF) modem programs run under Windows but there are guides on the Internet to get it to work under LInux using WINE.? ARDOP is also available for Linux but there are less and less stations running it.
