Well, 6pack 0.3.0 comes in stock 2.2.x kernels. It's just 0.2.0 with a
few changes to fit in the newer kernels.
The main drawback: it only supports one TNC per serial port. Otherwise,
it works (tested here).

Well, it seems there's not much interest in the protocol. I have
developped an extension to allow up to 8 TNC's per serial channel,
have send a note to the list but got no responses back, so I assume
nobody is interested in it.
As for the email address of the author, it has been forced to change
it. Last time I talked to him (about 6 months ago) it was:
Andreas Koensgen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
