14 Note that the answer to this question won't directly affect the
15 kernel: saying N will just cause the configurator to skip all
16 the questions about amateur radio.

25 This is the protocol used for computer communication over amateur
26 radio. It is either used by itself for point-to-point links, or to
27 carry other protocols such as tcp/ip. To use it, you need a device
28 that connects your Linux box to your amateur radio. You can either
29 use a low speed TNC (a Terminal Node Controller acts as a kind of
30 modem connecting your computer's serial port to your radio's
31 microphone input and speaker output) supporting the KISS protocol or
32 one of the various SCC cards that are supported by the generic Z8530
33 or the DMA SCC driver. Another option are the Baycom modem serial
34 and parallel port hacks or the sound card modem (supported by their
35 own drivers). If you say Y here, you also have to say Y to one of
36 those drivers.

38 Information about where to get supporting software for Linux amateur
39 radio as well as information about how to configure an AX.25 port is
40 contained in the AX25-HOWTO, available from
41 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. You might also want to
42 check out the file <file:Documentation/networking/ax25.txt> in the
43 kernel source. More information about digital amateur radio in
44 general is on the WWW at

55 DAMA is a mechanism to prevent collisions when doing AX.25
56 networking. A DAMA server (called "master") accepts incoming traffic
57 from clients (called "slaves") and redistributes it to other slaves.

61 only compiles DAMA slave support into the kernel. It still needs to
62 be enabled at runtime. For more about DAMA see
