Why would you want to separate this? In order to set up the
hardware, you first will have to set up the AX.25 kernel subsystem.
> AX25-HARDWARE-HOWTO
Yes, that's a good idea.
> AX25-TPU-HOWTO
Not enough information available to create a whole HOWTO
document from only this.
My proposal:
1. The AX.25-HOWTO (maybe renamed to AX.25-Hardware-
HOWTO)
-contains the setup of the AX.25 kernel subsystem
-contains the setup of the drivers
-does NOT contain that whole bunch of examples any more, these
are moved to the
2. AX.25-Software-HOWTO
-contains the basic application setup
-contains hints on available Packet Radio Software for Linux
(Terminal programs, BBSs etc.) - the HAM HOWTO could be
disburdened a little bit
-contains sample configurations to help installing the software
-contains explanations of common pitfalls when using Linux AX.25
software
-AND ALSO contains some docomentation to the AX.25
programming interface as long as it is Linux specific.
Just a suggestion...
Cheers, 73
