The most trouble free way in this case is to use AXIP/UDP encapsulation
of the AX.25 packets, i.e. the AX.25 packets are encapsulated into
UDP packets before being sent over the ethernet. See attach axip ...

On the DOS/Windoze side you can use eg. PC/FlexNet which includes
an AXIP driver.

Another possibility would probably be the use of the BPQ protocol,
but this is more troublesome to configure.
