Hey alterego!
I'm very knowledgeable in this area. Imagine us seting up hub traffic over
the HF links, now that would be awesome and is extremely easy.   Believe it
or not it's no different than what we are doing with IP, Packet Radio uses
X.25 instead of IP, and it's natively suported by linux.

Also there are TNC's that do pure IP protocol, so that is something else to
look into, we can simply use HF radio to talk IPv4.

Let's get a thread started discussing all the linux based TNC's everyone is
aware of, such as the TNC-X, and then let's discuss the initial use cases and
requirements.  I'd love to build this and utilize it for my Netmail and
fsxNet mail synchronization :)
