If you want to connect your Linux box to an amateur radio, answer Y |
|
here. You want to read <https://www.tapr.org/> |
|
and more specifically about AX.25 on Linux |
|
<http://www.linux-ax25.org/>. |
|
|
|
Note that the answer to this question won't directly affect the |
|
kernel: saying N will just cause the configurator to skip all |
|
the questions about amateur radio. |

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

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

To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the |
|
module will be called ax25. |

|
DAMA is a mechanism to prevent collisions when doing AX.25 |
|
networking. A DAMA server (called "master") accepts incoming traffic |
|
from clients (called "slaves") and redistributes it to other slaves. |
|
If you say Y here, your Linux box will act as a DAMA slave; this is |
|
transparent in that you don't have to do any special DAMA |
|
configuration. Linux cannot yet act as a DAMA server. This option |
|
only compiles DAMA slave support into the kernel. It still needs to |
|
be enabled at runtime. For more about DAMA see |
|
<http://www.linux-ax25.org>. If unsure, say Y. |

connections in general and amateur radio AX.25 connections in |

particular, essentially an alternative to NET/ROM. |
