-This is version 029 of the new AX.25 and NET/ROM code for Linux. It
-incorporates many enhancements since the last release, notably the rewriting
-of the connected mode IP code and the IP over NET/ROM code. The opportunity
-has been taken to add the G8BPQ NET/ROM extensions and to add BPQ Ethernet
-support. The latter has been much eased by the use of the new variable
-length header code by Alan Cox.
+To use the amateur radio protocols within Linux you will need to get a
+suitable copy of the AX.25 Utilities. More detailed information about these
+and associated programs can be found on http://www.cs.nott.ac.uk/~jsn/.
+
+For more information about the AX.25, NET/ROM and ROSE protocol stacks, see
+the AX25-HOWTO written by Terry Dawson <terry@perf.no.itg.telstra.com.au>
+who is also the AX.25 Utilities maintainer.
+
+There is an active mailing list for discussing Linux amateur radio matters
+called linux-hams. To subscribe to it, send a message to
+Majordomo@vger.rutgers.edu with the words "subscribe linux-hams" in the body
+of the message, the subject field is ignored.
 
-To use the BPQ Ethernet option, first up the ethernet interface in the usual
-manner, the IP address of the interface is not that important but it will
-be required for the ARP table. Next create an ARP entry in the ARP table of
-type ax25 for the interface binding it to an AX.25 callsign, this callsign
-will be the callsign of that interface. By default BPQ Ethernet uses a
-multi-cast address, this implementation does not, instead the standard
-ethernet broadcast address is used. Therefore the NET.CFG file for the
-ODI driver should look similar to this:

-The above configuration assumes that only BPQ Ethernet is being used.
-
-It is not possible to run IP over AX.25 on the BPQ Ethernet port. To simply
-route IP frames to (say) eth0 would create standard ethernet IP frames and
-completely bypass the AX.25 code. However it is possible to use IP over
-NET/ROM across a BPQ Ethernet link, the performance of such a system is
-very acceptable indeed.
