Yes, it is to a certain extent. Right now what I need to do is use
a TNC in transparent mode (looks like a modem with some delays)
on each end and just bring up the link (most TNC's have a way to
set them up to establish a connection with another TNC when reset
or powered up) and start dumping data into them. This is for demo
reasons.
For LINUX you can use any TNC that talks KISS or you can use sound
cards, I have not got to that area (sound cards) yet, but I have
to do something soon as I need to move a FPAC switch from DOS to
LINUX so that we can upgrade it.
The AX25 howto is the basic guide there. Some of it is sort of out
of date but a good bit of it is being updated at this moment.

That would not be a problem with desktop boxes but the user side is a
laptop and so it needs to be able to handle the SLIP connection right
out of the box. In fact I am thinking of doing that for the gateway
side of things, then I can hang several TNC's off of the box for
multiple ports.
