  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>.

  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

  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.
