    Have you thought of running a packet BBS.

    I run one here and it is all on AX25 packet using the internet.

    950 messages.

    Access using a simple prompt.

    How does one connect to it from far away? Connect vy2xu via
    <digipeater>?

    You would do it either with VHF RF 145.01 (you are too far away) or over the internet (cwnet.org) should work. Then you would sign in from a terminal.

    Then it's old time packet. 950 messages on the system.

    What OS are you running on? Do you happen to have a Raspberry Pi or random other computer you can put Linux on sitting around doing nothing? You can connect your TS590S via USB and run Direwolf, making a virtual TNC, then 'kissattach' that as if it was a real one. And bam, ax25 packet.
