Depends on what you want to do. I am a radio amateur, but I only use a
TNC to connect to a digipeater (using AX.25/DAMA) with the 'TNT'
software) once in a while to chat, and I do not use TCP/IP via radio
links.

I'm not exactly sure what the AX.25 kernel implementation in Linux
does, much less do I know if NetBSD will have any such thing.

You might consider upgrading to 1.3.3. Not that it does AX.25, but
fixes some bugs.
