I canâ€Öt say anything about packet communications, but in Russia the HF pager is popular among young radio amateurs. https://hfpager.com/hfpager/hf-pager

Someone joked that it was a RTTY on steroids :)) (medical joke)
This is a paid story, but itâ€Ös interesting that colleagues implemented a client version on Android and iPhone devices. In some ways, the HF pager is similar to JS8Call: slow and punchy, and it is also possible to exchange short messages.
my two cents :)

73!

1200 baud it's greater, than zero bits per second :)
