    A single CR is the standard end-of-line sequence on packet radio. The
    user_call family of utilities is intended for use in applications where
    any end-of-line conversions are not necessary. That is both sides of the
    connection to/from ax25_call are supposed to be AX.25 connactions. Like
    when ax25_call is launched from ax25d or from node. In its intended use
    ax25_call uses the right eol.

    If you want to use ax25_call from the command line I just tested and
    piping the output through tr seems to work:

      ax25_call ... | tr '\r' '\n'

    Maybe you can use that?
