Well, I'll still take a look around and see what I can't do. I would
really like to run tfkiss because it sounds like exactly what I want
to do, but just can't get it to compile. Essentially I want to have my
computer be at least a minimal tnc console with my "dumb" modem. I
just want the software to send and receive the proper AX.25 frames
with the text body attached in the packet.
As for the SSH, I just wanted to control the packet station over my
home network over SSH so that I don't have to be at the radio. I don't
want to encapsulate SSH over AX.25 links. That would be illegal in my
jurisdiction.
