You can run Netrom over a pty based AX.25 connection, so yes. Do you
have TNOS
linked to your kernel now ?

If not use:

axattach /dev/ptyp0 link

(where link is listed as a port in /etc/ax25/axports)

and then from TNOS attach /dev/ttyp0 (note the similar but different
name for each end)
as though it were a serial TNC. This creates a 'pipe', a virtual serial
link, between
the kernel code and TNOS.

This is described also in the AX25-HOWTO at:
