Update May 2025
dixprs is no longer maintained, and after re-installing a fresh OS on my igate Pi I couldn't find the details for installing it, as the old google group site that had the details has disappeared from the internet.
I've gone over to aprx
Using Linux AX25 network device
Everything starts by a script, with options commented out as necessary to start whichever software is required.
Hardware
I use a TNC-Pi attached via the GPIO serial port connections. Something had to be done to stop the serial port having a Linux Console attached, in the boot configuration, but it's been many years and I can't remember the details.
