+To use the amateur radio protocols within Linux you will need to get a
+suitable copy of the AX.25 Utilities. More detailed information about these
+and associated programs can be found on http://zone.pspt.fi/~jsn/.
+
+For more information about the AX.25, NET/ROM and ROSE protocol stacks, see
+the AX25-HOWTO written by Terry Dawson <terry@perf.no.itg.telstra.com.au>
+who is also the AX.25 Utilities maintainer.
+
+There is an active mailing list for discussing Linux amateur radio matters

+majordomo@vger.kernel.org with the words "subscribe linux-hams" in the body
