Hello Waldek,

The RPi has one built-in serial port but in it's default mode, it only 
supports TX / RX and GND pins.  That won't help you for PTT. Now, what 
you can do is invoke one of the RPi's alternative I/O mappings and at 
that point, you have full access to the flow control pins (specifically 
RTS) that most people use for PTT.  Please note, the RPi is a 3.3v 
device with limited current so you'll probably need a level shifter to 
drive the PTT line on your radio.

Ps.   In addition to considering Soundmodem, have you heard of 
Direwolf?  http://home.comcast.net/~wb2osz/  This soundcard TNC supports 
is being actively developed, supports multiple parallel decoders for off 
frequency signals, supports multi-bit correction, etc.  None of those 
times is true of Soundmodem.  Oh yeah.. and it has RPi binaries!

When I have use soundmodem on my laptop with linux kernel 2.x ten years ago but driver soundmodem support PTT via RS-232 which working very well with my IC-W2A. But I don't know how to do this on RPI ?
