Perhaps until Craig declares it obsolete this should be hosted
*somewhere* just to preserve access to the code.  Digipeating is
sometimes not recommended by some, but it would be nice if this code
could be updated if for no other reason than to have the Linux AX.25
capability meet the spec.

I've been playing with AX.25 on another box again and didn't realize
digipeating was lacking until this thread.  This prompted me to grab
the file and save Tomi's patch.
