[Xastir] ax25 nodes

[Gerry Creager N5JXS]

No, really pretty clear.  And the rocketport cards were pretty neat 
technology for their time!

However, it's starting to sound like client-server time again.  What 
we/you need is a series of integrated apps that can pipe 
ethernet<-->serial (terminal server stuff), manage a weather station or 
2, and talk to the xastir core app.  Is this closer to where you're going?

There is code out there that mimics the terminal server stuff.  I'm more 
stupid this morning than usual, despite coffee, so I can't recall 
project names, but for the serial-attached-to-ethernet stuff, they're 
straightforward.  The 'TNC via ethernet server) should be a 
straightforward hack.  control of serial devices Xastir doesn't 
know/understand should be left to another app, and the results made 
available by a daemon (IMO).
