Matthias, DG2FEF has been working on the kernel-AX.25 stuff. His latest
patch supports crossport-digipeating with hop-2-hop ack. I heard that he
is quite busy at the moment, so development has slowed down a bit. But you
can still get information and the patches at
http://www.afthd.tu-darmstadt.de/~dg2fef/ax25/features.html
It's all in English... and on the same server on which the FlexNet group
has its homepage (in /~flexnet/).
73s, Robert
