| If you want to connect your Linux box to an amateur radio, answer Y | |
| here. You want to read <http://www.tapr.org/> | |
| and more specifically about AX.25 on Linux | |
| <http://www.linux-ax25.org/>. | |
| Note that the answer to this question won't directly affect the | |
| kernel: saying N will just cause the configurator to skip all | |
| the questions about amateur radio. | |

| depends on HAMRADIO | |
| help | |
| This is the protocol used for computer communication over amateur | |
| radio. It is either used by itself for point-to-point links, or to | |
| carry other protocols such as tcp/ip. To use it, you need a device | |
| that connects your Linux box to your amateur radio. You can either | |
| use a low speed TNC (a Terminal Node Controller acts as a kind of | |
| modem connecting your computer's serial port to your radio's | |
| microphone input and speaker output) supporting the KISS protocol or | |
| one of the various SCC cards that are supported by the generic Z8530 | |
| or the DMA SCC driver. Another option are the Baycom modem serial | |
| and parallel port hacks or the sound card modem (supported by their | |
| own drivers). If you say Y here, you also have to say Y to one of | |
| those drivers. | |
| Information about where to get supporting software for Linux amateur | |
| radio as well as information about how to configure an AX.25 port is | |
| contained in the AX25-HOWTO, available from | |
| <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. You might also want to | |
| check out the file <file:Documentation/networking/ax25.txt> in the | |
| kernel source. More information about digital amateur radio in | |
| general is on the WWW at | |
| <http://www.tapr.org/>. | |
| To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the | |
| module will be called ax25. | |
| config AX25_DAMA_SLAVE | |
| bool "AX.25 DAMA Slave support" | |
| default y | |
| depends on AX25 | |
| help | |
| DAMA is a mechanism to prevent collisions when doing AX.25 | |
| networking. A DAMA server (called "master") accepts incoming traffic | |
| from clients (called "slaves") and redistributes it to other slaves. | |
| If you say Y here, your Linux box will act as a DAMA slave; this is | |
| transparent in that you don't have to do any special DAMA | |
| configuration. Linux cannot yet act as a DAMA server. This option | |
| only compiles DAMA slave support into the kernel. It still needs to | |
| be enabled at runtime. For more about DAMA see | |
| <http://www.linux-ax25.org>. If unsure, say Y. | |
