Actually a better way to put this would be "using the internet to solicit 
contacts" which is what you are doing if your radio spots come from the 
internet, as is common practice now, but for some reason the name "packet" 
still remains.  Technically if you had your old 2M radio, TNC and computer 
terminal connected to a ham packet node, you would not be violating the 
rule.

Hope this helps.
