I think i am safe in saying yes, incoming packets are acked but ignored.

The program ax25d will listen to spesified callsigns and ssid's, in its
config file /etc/ax25/ax25d.conf one can define which program a connectee
gets to see. For example the Linux-node would be defined for your callsign
on ax0 basicly as follows.
[N2POR via ax0]
NOCALL * * * * * * L
default * * * * * * - root /usr/sbin/node node
The ax25d and node programs are quite easy to configure and have very good
documentation. You decide who see's what, concerning your system.
node can be found on;
ftp://hes.iki.fi/pub/ham/linux/ax25
Slackware-7.0 has it along with all the other ax25 stuff in contrib/ham/ax25
I belive some other reacent distro's like redhat and mandrake are also
including the ax25 stuff.
