Re: Looking for Packet Radio Software

["Mike McCarthy, W1NR" <lists@w1nr.net>]

I am not up on the latest Ubuntu package management but try adding this
repository and browsing through the packages available for native Linux
packet software rather than the "wine" method.

http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/hamradio:/debian/xUbuntu_10.04/

If they are the same packages they build for openSUSE then you will find
a number of programs that utilize the built in AX.25 stack in the kernel.
