With the greatest respect to Jeff Trantor and the previous author of the ax25 howto, Terry Dawson (a fellow vk2), I've always found the official document to be of limited value. The principal problem is currency of the document in a changing environment. The URL below points to a 2001 document. ax25 has come a long way since then, and so has Linux. 2.6 kernels are a far cry from 2.0 and 2.2 kernels. Whilst some information is valid, some is not, leaving a newcomer effectively without help. The document by Bernard F6BVP, although primarily aimed at fpac, contains currently maintained ax25 information, contributed by current active users of ax25 with 2.6 kernels.
