|  | 26 | This is the protocol used for computer communication over amateur | 
|  | 27 | radio. It is either used by itself for point-to-point links, or to | 
|  | 28 | carry other protocols such as tcp/ip. To use it, you need a device | 
|  | 29 | that connects your Linux box to your amateur radio. You can either | 
|  | 30 | use a low speed TNC (a Terminal Node Controller acts as a kind of | 
|  | 31 | modem connecting your computer's serial port to your radio's | 
|  | 32 | microphone input and speaker output) supporting the KISS protocol or | 
|  | 33 | one of the various SCC cards that are supported by the generic Z8530 | 
|  | 34 | or the DMA SCC driver. Another option are the Baycom modem serial | 
|  | 35 | and parallel port hacks or the sound card modem (supported by their | 
|  | 36 | own drivers). If you say Y here, you also have to say Y to one of | 
|  | 37 | those drivers. |

|  | 56 | DAMA is a mechanism to prevent collisions when doing AX.25 |

|  | 60 | transparent in that you don't have to do any special DAMA | 
|  | 61 | configuration. Linux cannot yet act as a DAMA server.  This option | 
|  | 62 | only compiles DAMA slave support into the kernel.  It still needs to | 
|  | 63 | be enabled at runtime.  For more about DAMA see |
