|  | 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. |

|  | 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 |

|  | 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. |
