If you want to connect your Linux box to an amateur radio, answer Y
|
||
|
|
here. You want to read <http://www.tapr.org/tapr/html/pkthome.html> and
|
||
|
|
the AX25-HOWTO, available from <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
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.

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
|
||
|
|
<http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. You might also want to
|

check out the file <file:Documentation/networking/ax25.txt> in the

kernel source. More information about digital amateur radio in

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.) If unsure,
|
||
|
|
say N.
