    You can try checking out
    http://www.jmbnet.iinet.net.au/linux/soundcardpacket.htm
    for some of my VERY rough notes on setting up a sound card in linux as a
    packet modem. I have run this very successfully on several different kernel
    versions now (2.0.36, 2.0.35, 2.2.15, 2.2.17), but you will have to know how
    to compile a linux kernel and set the options using cd /usr/src/linux, make
    menuconfig etc., make dep, make clean, make bzImage etc etc. The most
    difficult problem I found, was getting 'unresolved symbols' errors, which is
    just due to the modules in the kernel not being installed correctly and in
    the correct order. Once the kernel is compiled, the startup scripts I use
    are on the page above for you to check out. I have run both 1200 and 9600
    bps quite successfully with a Soundblaster 16, Soundblaster Pro, Beethoven
    PSS card and ESS688 card.

    Regards
    James

    page/howto on setting up the soundcard packet modem system? I have read the
    AX25-Howto many times but I am still not confident that I could set it up
    proprely, and it also looks to be a bit outdated. Thanks
