I've been using Phil Karnes' 'net' stuff for about 10 years now. It 
is the predecessor to the JNOS and TNOS code. It does ax25, net/rom 
and IP over a tnc with a "kiss" rom and runs in userland.  I also 
hacked it to run with a BBS using IPC. The code is unencumbered and 
if you're interested, I'll put it out for download. I haven't 
compiled it since 2.x days, and I think it may need some tweeking to 
compile on 4.x. (I seem to recall getting some error messages the 
last time I tried). The BBS is available also. If you want it, I'll 
have to get it together to make a tarball.
