I believe there are other things 
that are different , especially regarding
support of wireless links 

But then again I am not an expert at AX25
Although i find this protocol awkward and 
old fashioned, HAM and CB packet users are still
using it these days and the only platform that has
integrated AX25 support is Linux and I don't plan 
on using Linux. So it is a shame (it is not vital 
for me though) that NetBSD does not support AX25
out of the box like Linux does.
