Message-ID: <1078104092.23240.181857734@webmail.messagingengine.com> (raw)
list:
A few weeks ago, I sent this message to Brian Kantor, the author of RFC
1226. I haven't gotten any response, so maybe you can answer my
questions. Also, in the AX.25-HOWTO, it talks about these network layer
protocols like NETROM and ROSE, and I can't understand what they are for.
Why not just use IP? In the database of Linux Ham radio applications, it
has a fileserver for AX.25. Why not just use the existing facilities in
Linux? What is so special about radio that all this stuff needs to be
reinvented incompatibly?
