Note that the 1981 edition is quite obsolete. The current edition, the third,
is only a couple of years old. There is really very little relevant to AX.25
and almost nothing relvant to KISS in Tannenbaum's book, although the book is
an excellent treatment of many related subjects. Above all, don't make the
mistake of assuming that AX.25 is just a ham radio flavor of X.25.

This and similar books can be ordered from Computer Literacy Bookshop, and they
will ship internationally. See "http://www.clbooks.com" or send e-mail to
"clukkkvj@hostnoc.net" for more information.
