|  | If you want to connect your Linux box to an amateur radio, answer Y | 
|  | here. You want to read <http://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 | 
|  | <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 | 
|  | general is on the WWW at | 
|  | <http://www.tapr.org/>. |

|  | help | 
|  | 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. |
