I had assumed that (most) TNCs handled the AX.25 protocol themselves. I understand that with a soundmodem, the linux system would have to do the AX.25, but what about if I use an off-the-shelf TNC ( kpc3 for example ). Does linux arrange to turn the AX.25 handling OFF in the TNC and do it in software? 2) Can I put more than one sound card in my linux box.. One for music, the other, perhaps multiple soundcards, for packet? 3) Anyone on this mailing list anywhere near Reno NV... I'd love to have someone local to work with to get started. thanks - jim kg7hh
