Hello,

I'm just about to begin playing with AX.25/Linux.. I'd like to get a soundcard modem running on a laptop (IBM Thinkpad), for packet and APRS use. 

I'm fairly knowledgable with linux, but not with soundcards and AX.25..

Is anyone else doing this successfully?

Should I start with a 2.6 kernel, or is that too bleeding edge for now?

Thanks for any and all help.

p.s. Any good URLs I should visit to get my feet?
