9      If you want to connect your Linux box to an amateur radio, answer Y
10      here. You want to read <http://www.tapr.org/tapr/html/pkthome.html>
11      and more specifically about AX.25 on Linux
12      <http://www.linux-ax25.org/>.
13
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.

23    depends on HAMRADIO
24    help
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
45      <http://www.tapr.org/tapr/html/pkthome.html>.

47      To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
48      module will be called ax25.

50config AX25_DAMA_SLAVE
51    bool "AX.25 DAMA Slave support"
52    default y
53    depends on AX25
54    help
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.
58      If you say Y here, your Linux box will act as a DAMA slave; this is
59      transparent in that you don't have to do any special DAMA
60      configuration. Linux cannot yet act as a DAMA server. This option
61      only compiles DAMA slave support into the kernel. It still needs to
62      be enabled at runtime. For more about DAMA see
63      <http://www.linux-ax25.org>. If unsure, say Y.
