If 2.0.35 isn't on the official Debian 2.0 CD, it is in the current ftp
directories of ftp.debian.org and its mirrors. I don't know if the ax25
drivers are configured in the pre-compiled version which installs
(probably not), so you will want to compile from source anyway. With
2.0.35, you will not need to patch with module-14, of course.
The ax25-utils package on the CD does not contain the hdlcutils binaries,
since there is a problem compiling them with glibc2, so there will
probably be some difficulty in running a soundmodem.
You'll have to configure some of the utils stuff to match your
installation (port assignments, callsigns, etc).
