Yes - this is actually taken from some of the Xastir docs..

 http://nwp.ampr2.net/jnos/RemoteSerial

As long as you're on one Linux box, it works best to KISSATTACH the
external device and then multiple applications can all use the AX25
device at the same time.  If you need to access it from an application
that talks KISS but not Linux-AX25, then use the net2kiss command to
bring the AX25 data to a virtual serial port.  That's how JNOS talks
"packet" on a linux system.

Yes.  You'd turn on "Interface->Enable Server Ports" on the Xastir
instance running on the system with the AX.25 stack.  This makes a
TCP/IP port available which the other Xastir can connect to.

You'd also need to enable gating of your packets through that system
to the RF interfaces via the ~/.xastir/data/nws-stations.txt file.
Enter the callsign-SSID of the remote Xastir station on a separate
line in that file.

I don't recall whether you'd have to enable igating on the Xastir
interface and globally on the File->Configure->Defaults dialog as
well.  Test it and see.  In any case I'm running a wireless laptop
at home sometimes with Xastir, gating to RF via another Xastir on
the desktop which is hooked to the TNC.  Same basic setup as what
you're asking about.
