If you mean, can you set up axspawn so that incoming ax.25 connections get
a login prompt as if they'd telnetted in, yes, you do that by adding the
right lines to ax25d.conf (if I remember correctly - consult the howto).
That's what axspawn is for.

The ax.25 spec allows numbers up to -16 to be appended; it's called the SSID
and allows you to have up to 16 devices per callsign (since you can't
just change your callsign there had to be some way of having multiple
hardware addresses per person...) In TCP/IP usage a callsign plus SSID
is equivalent to an ethernet address, in that arp maps from the IP
address to a callsign with SSID. But if your system also runs a BBS, node,
etc., or if you operate on more than one frequency, each "service" should
have a separate SSID.
