    See the AX25-HOWTO for information on tcp/ip over AX.25.

    The WA4DSY modem will do 56 kbps (http://www.paccomm.com). It operates
    at 29 MHz and must be used with a transverter for the appropriate band.
    Some hams in Slovenia have designed high speed equipment, see
    http://hamradio.si/hid.html for some links.
