Note that Olivier has been using it with the Soundmodem interface
with AX.25 kernel networking.  I'd be interested in reports of
people trying it with Serial KISS interfaces, which is the other
type of interface where it was implemented.

Serial TNC interfaces (other than KISS) don't need it, as you can
turn on relay digipeat in the TNC setup file.

If people thing it works well enough, we'll allow it in the user
interface by default.
