Check out the "Soundmodem" package.  That is the package that allows
you to set up your sound card as an AX.25 kernel interface.  You'll
need to build a hardware interface of some type in order to activate
the PTT line of your radio.  It's explained on the Soundmodem web
pages.  A google search should find those for you:
