I'm currently running DIXPRS 2.2.2 in Debian Squeeze using ax25
networking, so I can vouch for it working with ax25 interfaces.  I can
fire up Xastir on the same machine at any time and share the RF port.
I'm also running APRSIS32 in Wine using an AGW interface to ldsped,
which is providing effectively an AGW to ax25 bridge.

One thing to watch when configuring DIXPRS for ax25 - the interface
reference it is looking for is not the name of the interface in
axports like Xastir wants, it's the network interface - most commonly
"ax0".
