15 | Note that the answer to this question won't directly affect the | |
16 | kernel: saying N will just cause the configurator to skip all | |
17 | the questions about amateur radio. | |

26 | This is the protocol used for computer communication over amateur |
27 | radio. It is either used by itself for point-to-point links, or to | |
28 | carry other protocols such as tcp/ip. To use it, you need a device | |
29 | that connects your Linux box to your amateur radio. You can either | |
30 | use a low speed TNC (a Terminal Node Controller acts as a kind of | |
31 | modem connecting your computer's serial port to your radio's | |
32 | microphone input and speaker output) supporting the KISS protocol or | |
33 | one of the various SCC cards that are supported by the generic Z8530 | |
34 | or the DMA SCC driver. Another option are the Baycom modem serial | |
35 | and parallel port hacks or the sound card modem (supported by their | |
36 | own drivers). If you say Y here, you also have to say Y to one of | |
37 | those drivers. | |

56 | DAMA is a mechanism to prevent collisions when doing AX.25 | |
57 | networking. A DAMA server (called "master") accepts incoming traffic | |
58 | from clients (called "slaves") and redistributes it to other slaves. | |
59 | If you say Y here, your Linux box will act as a DAMA slave; this is | |
60 | transparent in that you don't have to do any special DAMA | |
954b2e7f RB |
61 | configuration. Linux cannot yet act as a DAMA server. This option |
62 | only compiles DAMA slave support into the kernel. It still needs to | |
63 | be enabled at runtime. For more about DAMA see | |
64 | <http://www.linux-ax25.org>. If unsure, say Y. | |
