Pete,
beside the UK, that prohibits using these means "actively" (that means, UK
stations may not ask for QSOs on their QRGs, but they may be in that chat and
happily respond to other stations QSO requests), all countries i know of have
no
specific regulation. So, its not "allowed", but "not explicitly forbidden".
Beside that, why is packet only one-way? ON4KST-Chat is also easily accessible
via
packet. There are more than enough PR-internet-gateways nowadays, and ON4KST
chat
offers a telnet access with low bandwidth consumption.
