An alternative idea was to add a KISS network interface, for use with

That would be sweet. I hear there's a possible solution to the
remote TNC problem coming out soon from someone else. I don't know
details but I know someone who's beta-testing it. If it's
open-source it'd be a shame for you to duplicate effort along those
lines, that's why I'm mentioning it.
Looked it up, it was in a message to this list from Tom Russo just
this week:
While running Xastir this way is cute, ultimately I'm planning on
using the plug mostly as a central TNC server using AX.25
networking and a currently-unreleased piece of code called
"ldsped" that is a Linux daemon that talks AX.25 networking and
the AGWPE protocol (currently in beta, the author provided me with
an x86 binary and says he expects to release source in July or
August, at which time I plan to try it on the Sheeva).
So, a slightly different idea from yours. Says "expects to release
source" so we can hope it's under a reasonable open-source license.
