Hello Clare,

One of the older sites with configuration info can be found at:

http://tldp.org/HOWTO/AX25-HOWTO/index.html

With Linux you can run a combination of many RF ports (including wifi)
and have them configured to work together.

Back a number of years ago a number of hams had TCP/IP set up with
wormhole links on the Internet so if we could not reach a station by
radio we could reroute the traffic through the net to another station.

It worked very well.  I pretty much dropped out of the picture when very
little support was shown to put some of the systems together.  I had two
switches in operation that covered about 30% of Tennessee at one time
(Middle and Southeast part of the state).  One of the links to the
Grapes network was reachable from Hinch Mountain.  I had the switch on
Short Mountain and Hinch mountain at the time.  A map of what the
network looked like a bit over 10 years ago can be found at:

http://www.wa4dsy.net/56kb/lan.htm

Unfortunately the fellow that kept the Pine Log Mountain site running
had a heart attack and that site went down.  When the Hinch site was
running I found there was an obstruction that kept us from hitting the
Chattanooga site (Lookout Mountain), so I was able to hit Pine Log
directly from Hinch Mountain with about 3 watts.
