Hi Tom.
I am copying this to the CLX mailing list too. Are you on the list? You
should be as others may have a better idea about some things than me!
As to an ax25 interface, CLX does not have any ax25 or other packet protocols.
You should be using something else, such as the ax25 utilities under Linux, to
provide these linking protocols. You then use a script from CLX to link out
over these interfaces. I hope this helps,
Ian
