[Xastir] tnc-x

[Hurt, Gerald]

Well I definitely think I like the AX.25 kernel networking, less
opportunity for things to be incorrectly set up if the device names end
up changing. Do you know if anyone has used the aux RS-232 port for GPS?
I have an RS Digitraveler and could easily make an "all-in-one" type
unit...
