I'm aware of AX.25 support for Synchronet, check their wiki and look for an
author with the handle of echicken.

I want to offer access to my Mystic BBS system rather than some rather dated
and unfriendly HAM software...but the trick will be figuring out how to do
so. I did start a conversation with echicken (see ref above) about what he
had coded for Synchronet. My hope is in time I will be able to work something
out that does the same for Mystic, it's early days.
