Under Linux? Do you _really_ know about its current state? Obviously not. The
maintainer of the 6pack kernel driver states that he can't enhance it further
due to the lack of available hardware, in the new DG2FEF AX.25 it does not
work at all, and also, the EB2EBU system is considered beta.
Why, therefore, drop something quite reliable for some system that is still
unfinished?
And yes, for a lot of people it is a problem to get a new 6Pack EPROM for
their TNCs.

So there are similar problems. What would you say if someone comes up with
the question: "Who is still using SCC cards these days?"?
Cheers, 73
