The first place to start is with the AX.25 HOWTO document, which is available
in a number of places, but primarily from sunsite.unc.edu/LDP. I have a
page at my web site that tries to provide all the info necessary to get
Linux/AX.25 up and running -- I have pointers to the software, basic
instructions on compiling and installing, and some sample configuration
scripts (which are a little bit out of date, but should still be useful).
Check out http://www.febo.com/packetnet/linux.html.
