   9           If you want to connect your Linux box to an amateur radio, answer Y
  10           here. You want to read <http://www.tapr.org/>
  11           and more specifically about AX.25 on Linux
  12           <http://www.linux-ax25.org/>.

  14           Note that the answer to this question won't directly affect the
  15           kernel: saying N will just cause the configurator to skip all
  16           the questions about amateur radio.

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

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

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