No. With good reason that its not there. The best reason is, "It doesn't need to be in the kernel." At typical 1200 bits/sec, to less common 9600, to the exotic 56k, there is no urgency that requires service at the kernel level. Also a licensing requirement that one keep the unlicensed off the radio so its better to build the firewall+bridge into your ax25 layer. > And will I be able to use other hamradio apps I have > found in linux and be able to compile them to work in > freebsd as I usually run a hamradio gateway.
