Subj: setting up AX25 in Linux

Hi Linux users,

I'm wanting to set up AX25 support in a Linux O/S to use Packet Radio
terminal applications like Xparm & Xastir.

I have several types of modem to try out: Baycom serial port 1k2 modem,
Baycom parallel port 9k6 modem, KISS TNC & Baycom USCC ISA card.

I have a How-to from www.linux.org, but any tips & comments from anyone
who has done it before would be appreciated.

I have tried the "Windows options" & found that AGWpe USCC support is very
unreliable (crashes randomly after a short time), few programs support the
parallel port modems (BPQ32 doesn't for example) and DOS is very good but
doesn't allow multitasking of different applications.
So a Linux solution sounds the answer to running many applications in one
box, reliably.
