            I'm trying to find out what happens at the physical level with
    Ax25 packet. I've tried looking at the source code but either I'm looking
    in the wrong place, or I don't understand.

            I'm assuming tones of 1200Hz and 2200Hz for 1200bps

            I have several questions concerning transmission.
            
            1) Am I right in thinking that the tone changes every time a zero
    bit is sent, and not changed when a 1 bit is sent? If so, what tone
    frequency do I start with (for the first zero bit in the $7E frame start
    octet)

            2) Which order are the bits sent ? LSB or MSB first ?
            
            3) What is the polynomial for the frame check CRC. I have seen two
    quoted, x^16 + x^12 + x^5 + 1 and also x^16 + X^15 + x^2 + 1 which is
    right, or is it something else ?

            4) Given that one of the tones is the same as the baud rate, i.e.
    one complete cycle for one bit, does it matter where in the cycle I start
    the tone ?

            5) I'm assuming there is no phase shift between bits. Is this
    correct ?
