I have not been on the air yet. I want to use packet radio with my Red Hat 8.0 distribution. (I also downloaded and installed Debian bf2.4 on an older Dell machine.) I am wondering if the AX.25 HOW-TO posted to the Linux Documentation project is still accurate? If I read this How To and follow it, will I be able to implement packet radio on either the Red Hat or the Debian machines? I'm interested in being pointed to up to date reading material, I know there is a lot for me to study. Thanks! 73, Bob Cochran KB3JCM
