Actually I wasn't suggesting that, but I've done that as well.

I think you need a version of APRSD that has been tweaked to use the
AX.25 kernel networking ports.  I think the original versions could
only connect to a serial port.

If you can get a version that will handle this, then you set up the
TNC in KISS mode, get it talking in Linux, connect everything in the
world to that one port.
