[Xastir] ax.25

2010-07-21 Thread Jim
I often see instructions that mention two different options to perform various tasks. One involves ax.25. Is there a preferred method? Is there an advantage to using ax.25? Are there limitations wrt the tnc or modem one uses? Can someone point me to a discussion on the differences?
