1. Introduction.

This document was originally an appendix to the HAM-HOWTO, but grew too large to be reasonably managed in that fashion. This document describes how to install and configure the native AX.25 and NetRom support for Linux. A few typical configurations are described that could be used as models to work from.

1.2 Other related documentation.

There is a lot of related documentation. There are many documents that relate to Linux networking in more general ways and I strongly recommend you also read these as they will assist you in your efforts and provide you with stronger insight into other possible configurations.

They are:

The HAM-HOWTO

the Net-2-HOWTO

the Ethernet-HOWTO

the IPX-HOWTO

and

the Firewall-HOWTO
