R: Re: AX25 write up anywhere?

[Luigi - IK5ZUK <ik5zuk@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Terry,
nice to see you here, back in the HAM community !

Personally 
I'm using Linux without the AX25 support because the packet users are a 
very limited number and the official HOWTO is now very obsolete.
Here 
I'm using Ubuntu Server, wich is a Debian derived, and it would be nice 
if you can update the AX25 HOWTO to this Linux distro (and also the the 
other modern distros)...
Sadly, when I started my Linux server mainly 
for implementing a DxCluster node with Ubuntu, I had not found info 
about how to setup the AX25 and due to the limited number of users 
interested to connect my node via packet radio, I've decided to leave 
my server accessible only via internet connection... BTW, if you can 
update the HOWTO, I may add the ax25 to my cluster node very happyfully 
!

If you want, we can start a private discussion about...
