    Well, I'll have to say my experience here is a bit different. AX.25
    configuration is not that difficult and there is plenty of help
    available on this mailing list. Sure, the HOWTO is old but a lot
    of things haven't changed _that_ much.

    It has KISS mode right? Should be easy to get that running then.
    I don't know the commands off the top of my head though.

    Should be as simple as setting the TNC into KISS mode (usually "kiss on"
    followed by a restart), edit /etc/ax25/axports to put in the port name
    and baud rate, then use "kissattach /dev/ttyS1 ax0 <an_ip_address>",
    where ax0 is the name you used in /etc/ax25/axports.

    Do yourself a favour and install Debian too.
