Yes, by default your system accepts incoming connections to the interface
callsign. That is because there might be network traffic (IP, NET/ROM or
ROSE) coming in. Any plain data (PID=Text) will be ignored.
You can control that with /proc/sys/net/ax25/<iface_name>/connect_mode.
Setting it to 0 disables any incoming connections, 1 allowes only network
connections and 2 allowes everything.
