Got Xastir running off the internet once again. Now I would like to try getting it up and running of VHF. Please remember that what little knowledge I have about APRS comes from the WIN side. But I'm learning it under Linux. I would like to use it with my Yaesu FT-817. I think that I have a set of cables that should work. They are the EZPSK cables from Saratoga. If I were running WIN I would be using the AGWP engine. I'm running KUbuntu and looking with Synaptic Program Manager I came across this description: ********************************************************************** ******************
Sound Card Amateur Packet Radio Modems
This package contains the driver and diagnostic utility for the
userspace SoundModem suite by Thomas Sailer.

This package allows you to use any soundcard supported by the kernel as
an Amateur Packet Radio modem.
********************************************************************** ******************* Will this be a usable piece of soft ware ? If not, what would you recommend.
Thanks Mike WN5PMR

That should work. I am not aware of any other software TNC for Linux. There isn't much documentation, but it has a graphical configuration program, soundmodemconfig, which should get you set up.
