While usermode soundmodem is different than the old soundmodem kernel  
module, the soundmodem man page indicates that it "integrates tightly  
with the kernel MKISS driver", which implies that AX.25 is still  
required.  Tom's web page says as much for the Linux version, but it  
looks like the Solaris and Windows versions use a different kind of  
AX25 software stack, which would probably be doable on a Mac, but it  
would require programming of the AX25 software hooks.
