Fuck. Yeah. Bud. I have a userland AX.25 stack I wrote as my pandemic project, and pairing that with MeshTNC will be a dream come true for me. My stack has a few utilities for bridging KISS interfaces together, and exposing APRS-IS as a KISS interface itself, so I can definitely see a lot of cool things coming from this. (If I were feeling extra spicy, I could bind, say, /bin/login to a specific SSID and get a shell into my home machine from across town!)
ax.25 tcp/ip is doable and Battle-tested :)
why reinvent tre whell?
Hah! I was literally about to open up my nascent userland AX.25 stack. Is yours open-source, or would you mind sharing? (My e-mail is in my profile.) I want to get something running on an ESP32-S3. My goal is to turn a Cardputer into a companion TNC console for my Kenwood TH-D74.
