Sorry ! > -- There is no "packet driver" per se, but I have a modified version of Phil Karn's "Net" software here that will allow ham AX25 and tcp/ip networking through a serial port and TNC. You can also nail up a slip connection through a PTY to the FreeBSD kernel, which will allow NET to talk to the ethernet interface used by FreeBSD and server as a router from the RF network to internet. There are a couple other packages that will also do this. TNOS and WAMPES, both variations of Phil's code. TNOS has a web page, I believe. -Jim Durham
