These are descriptions of the packages in the Slackware contrib/ham/ax25 directory: 7plus-2.25-i386-1: 7PLUS is an encoder vaguely similar to Unix's UUENCODE. 7plus-2.25-i386-1: It uses a very effective radix216 encoding and incorporates 7plus-2.25-i386-1: diverse mechanisms to ensure decoded data is not corrupted. 7plus-2.25-i386-1: It also includes an interactive repair mechanism which allows 7plus-2.25-i386-1: the repair of damaged files using correction files, thus 7plus-2.25-i386-1: eliminating the need to retransmit entire files. In case of 7plus-2.25-i386-1: a corruption, only the faulty sections are resent. 7PLUS 7plus-2.25-i386-1: is only meant to be used within the Packet Radio network 7plus-2.25-i386-1: for the tranport of binary data through Packet Radio mail. 7plus-2.25-i386-1: It cannot be used for Internet eMail since it needs a 7plus-2.25-i386-1: (almost) transparent path from end to end. ax25_apps-0.0.5-i386-1: AX.25 applications 0.0.5 ax25_apps-0.0.5-i386-1: ax25_apps-0.0.5-i386-1: These are the essential applications for use with AX.25 ax25_apps-0.0.5-i386-1: packet radio. ax25_apps-0.0.5-i386-1: Requires libax25 to be installed. ax25_apps-0.0.5-i386-1: The configuration files are included, but this packages ax25_apps-0.0.5-i386-1: will not overwrite any existing config files. ax25_apps-0.0.5-i386-1: ax25_apps-0.0.5-i386-1: ax25_apps-0.0.5-i386-1: ax25_apps-0.0.5-i386-1: ax25_tools-0.0.8-i386-1: AX.25 tools version 0.0.8 ax25_tools-0.0.8-i386-1: ax25_tools-0.0.8-i386-1: Author: Craig Small VK2XLZ ax25_tools-0.0.8-i386-1: , et al. ax25_tools-0.0.8-i386-1: Needs: glibc2.1, A Modern kernel (2.2.x), libtool, ax25_tools-0.0.8-i386-1: libax25 0.0.5 or newer, and zlib. ax25_tools-0.0.8-i386-1: ax25_tools-0.0.8-i386-1: ax25_tools-0.0.8-i386-1: ax25_tools-0.0.8-i386-1: ax25_tools-0.0.8-i386-1: libax25-0.0.7-i386-3: AX.25 libraries version 0.0.7 libax25-0.0.7-i386-3: libax25-0.0.7-i386-3: This library set is still really under test but is now release libax25-0.0.7-i386-3: for general use. You are supposed to use glibc2 for this package. libax25-0.0.7-i386-3: Authors: Jonathan Naylor, Tomi Manninen, Jean-Paul ROUBELAT, Alan Cox. linkt-0.6.99-20010205-i386-1: LinKT version 0.6.99-20010205 linkt-0.6.99-20010205-i386-1: linkt-0.6.99-20010205-i386-1: The Linux KDE packet radio Terminal linkt-0.6.99-20010205-i386-1: Includes MonKT and ax25spyd-0.23 linkt-0.6.99-20010205-i386-1: Requires KDE2. Author: Jochen Sarrazin, DG6VJ, et al. node-0.3.0-i386-2: AX.25 node version 0.3.0 node-0.3.0-i386-2: node-0.3.0-i386-2: This is a simple node frontend for Linux kernel AX.25, NETROM, node-0.3.0-i386-2: ROSE and TCP. Author: Tomi Manninen OH2BNS, soundmodem-0.4-i386-2: soundmodem version 0.4 soundmodem-0.4-i386-2: soundmodem-0.4-i386-2: This package contains the driver and the diagnostic utility for soundmodem-0.4-i386-2: userspace soundmodem-0.4-i386-2. It allows you to use soundcards supported soundmodem-0.4-i386-2: by OSS/Free as Amateur Packet Radio modems. soundmodem-0.4-i386-2: Author: Thomas Sailer soundmodem-0.4-i386-2: soundmodem-0.4-i386-2: Requires audiofil.tgz, libxml.tgz to be installed. xcall-0.02-i386-1: Packet radio program for X/GTK xcall-0.02-i386-1: Xcall is a simple packet radio program, which does not do xcall-0.02-i386-1: much at the moment, except send what you type and show what xcall-0.02-i386-1: you receive. xcall-0.02-i386-1: Author: Joop Stakenborg xcall-0.02-i386-1: xcall-0.02-i386-1: Requires gtkglib.tgz to be installed. xconvers-0.7-i386-1: Xconvers is a client for convers, a IRC-like conversation xconvers-0.7-i386-1: system for hamradio operators. Convers differs from IRC xconvers-0.7-i386-1: because there is a much smaller command set and command xconvers-0.7-i386-1: input and output is generally shorter. This is done because xconvers-0.7-i386-1: a lot of convers servers are linked by radio waves, where xconvers-0.7-i386-1: traffic should be kept low. xconvers-0.7-i386-1: Author: Joop Stakenborg (PA4TU) xconvers-0.7-i386-1: xconvers-0.7-i386-1: requires gtkglib.tgz to be installed. xconvers-0.7-i386-1: xconvers-0.7-i386-1: xfbb-7.03f-i386-1: xfbb-7.03f xfbb-7.03f-i386-1: xfbb-7.03f-i386-1: FBB is a bulletin board software package for amateur packet- xfbb-7.03f-i386-1: radio. FBB is developed by Jean-Paul Roubelat, F6FBB. xfbb-7.03f-i386-1: xfbb-7.03f-i386-1: This Slackware package includes additional language files, xfbb-7.03f-i386-1: and the multi server by PA3AES/PA3FWM. xfbb-7.03f-i386-1: xfbb-7.03f-i386-1: xfbb-7.03f-i386-1: xfbb-7.03f-i386-1: z8530drv_utils-3.0-i386-2: Utilities for Z8530 based SCC boards by Joerg Reuter DL1BKE. z8530drv_utils-3.0-i386-2: Needs scc support enabled in the kernel, or have the scc.o z8530drv_utils-3.0-i386-2: module loaded. z8530drv_utils-3.0-i386-2: z8530drv_utils-3.0-i386-2: Edit /etc/ax25/z8530drv.conf to fit your configuration.
