I'm not sure. Need to include amateur callsigns in there somewhere, though,

Is Van Jacobsen compression used? I haven't used TCP/IP over AX.25 yet,
still waiting on an IP allocation. VJ header compression is routinely
used on dialup PPP links, and if a link that fast (comparatively) can
benefit from it, I suspect our links could too.
