 If you followed the FARPN getting started tutorials, you should be able to find a shortcut to QTTermTCP in the applications menu on your Raspberry Pi or whatever other device you installed your packet station software onto.

 You'll want to first navigate to Setup -> Hosts -> and Choose one of the "New Host" lines

 You'll be connecting to your own node locally, not via RF, so in the dialog box that pops up, you'll want to enter the appropriate info.  Some of this will come from the user information that you put in the telnet section of your ~/.config/linbpq/bpq32.cfg file, so you may want to open that file for reference.

-Back at the main screen, click connect, and choose the connection you just created.  You should be rewarded with a prompt for you node in the bottom half of the window, and in the top you should start seeing some packet activity scrolling by. The volume of activity in the top will depend on band, mode and conditions, since this is what your station is receiving!  Things in red are what your station sends, so if you set up beacons in your config file, or elsewhere, you'll see those periodically get sent.

 play around with the options and see what happens!
