+ax25-apps AX.25 Packet radio support for linux (user applications)
+
+The AX.25 protocol offers both connected and connectionless modes of operation,
+and is used either by itself for point-point links, or to carry other protocols
+such as TCP/IP and NET/ROM.
+
+It is similar to X.25 level 2 in structure, with some extensions to make it more
+useful in the amateur radio environment.
+
+This package provides specific user applications for hamradio that use AX.25 Net/ROM or ROSE network protocols:
+
+ * axcall: a general purpose AX.25, NET/ROM and ROSE connection
+ program.
+ * axlisten: a network monitor of all AX.25 traffic heard by the system.
+ * ax25ipd: an RFC1226 compliant daemon which provides
+ encapsulation of AX.25 traffic over IP.
+ * ax25mond: retransmits data received from sockets into an AX.25
+ monitor socket.
