Hi Bill,

I believe most of the Debian-derived distributions currently support  
AX.25.  I am using Ubuntu 6.06, which definitely does.  It is  
necessary to enable access to the "universe" repository by  
uncommenting a line in /etc/apt/sources.list, which is certainly less  
futzing around than would be needed with XP.
