12 | help | |
13 | If you want to connect your Linux box to an amateur radio, answer Y | |
14 | here. You want to read <http://www.tapr.org/tapr/html/pkthome.html> and | |
15 | the AX25-HOWTO, available from <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. | |
16 | ||
17 | Note that the answer to this question won't directly affect the | |
18 | kernel: saying N will just cause the configurator to skip all | |
19 | the questions about amateur radio. | |

28 | This is the protocol used for computer communication over amateur | |
29 | radio. It is either used by itself for point-to-point links, or to | |
30 | carry other protocols such as tcp/ip. To use it, you need a device | |
31 | that connects your Linux box to your amateur radio. You can either | |
32 | use a low speed TNC (a Terminal Node Controller acts as a kind of | |
33 | modem connecting your computer's serial port to your radio's | |
34 | microphone input and speaker output) supporting the KISS protocol or | |
35 | one of the various SCC cards that are supported by the generic Z8530 | |
36 | or the DMA SCC driver. Another option are the Baycom modem serial | |
37 | and parallel port hacks or the sound card modem (supported by their | |
38 | own drivers). If you say Y here, you also have to say Y to one of | |
39 | those drivers. | |

41 | Information about where to get supporting software for Linux amateur | |
42 | radio as well as information about how to configure an AX.25 port is | |
43 | contained in the AX25-HOWTO, available from | |
44 | <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. You might also want to | |
45 | check out the file <file:Documentation/networking/ax25.txt> in the | |
46 | kernel source. More information about digital amateur radio in | |
47 | general is on the WWW at | |

55 | depends on AX25 | |
56 | help | |
57 | DAMA is a mechanism to prevent collisions when doing AX.25 | |
58 | networking. A DAMA server (called "master") accepts incoming traffic | |
59 | from clients (called "slaves") and redistributes it to other slaves. | |
60 | If you say Y here, your Linux box will act as a DAMA slave; this is | |
61 | transparent in that you don't have to do any special DAMA | |
62 | configuration. (Linux cannot yet act as a DAMA server.) If unsure, | |
63 | say N. | |
