I would say JNOS as an alternative. There was a lx111c compiled
executable file at pc.usl.edu, the one I am using here at CO2JA and
CO9BQQ. So far works fine.
For radio, I find JNOS preferable to the Linux ax25 strategies. It
may handle LZW compressed ascii ftp , SMPT and POP3. I have not used
it for nntp.
Have used JNOS with Slackware 3.3, RedHat 4.2 and 5.1. So far so good.
So you have two alternatives now. I just copied my MSDOS tree into
JNOS, and many files as well. You may just have to dos2unix them...
I am using a mix here. FBB is best for AX25 fwd, JNOS for TCPIP
hamradio stuff. I am not so familiar with Linux itself yet, so I still
depend on old known stuff.
Linux itself is very good for TCPIP and other protocols in the
Ethernet LAN, but it seems to me it still needs a bit of tweaking to
become better with AX25. It is just intuition, the way it "feels"...

PD: Running FBB, JNOS, DXNET and node. Looks like the old MSDOS stuff
using BPQ, but is far more stable.
