12 help
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.

26 depends on HAMRADIO && NET
27 ---help---
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
48 <http://www.tapr.org/tapr/html/pkthome.html>.

53config AX25_DAMA_SLAVE
54 bool "AX.25 DAMA Slave support"
55 depends on AX25
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.

70 NET/ROM is a network layer protocol on top of AX.25 useful for
71 routing.

87 ---help---
88 The Packet Layer Protocol (PLP) is a way to route packets over X.25
89 connections in general and amateur radio AX.25 connections in
90 particular, essentially an alternative to NET/ROM.
