"Ham" isn't an acronym and shouldn't be written in all caps.
Using ham radio as an internet replacement (even for basic communication) isn't exactly trivial though. I have all the necessary bits lying around, and years of experience with the topic, and it would still take me quite a bit of fiddling to get a functional AX.25 link up and running (and that's just my end of it).
