And just recently the Linksys NSLU2 has beta software with AX25 packet.
   A fully open Linux box at about 1/2 the price of a KPC3+..

Of course, I don't think the NSLU2 has an audio interface(I suppose you 
could use a USB sound card, or equivalent), so it doesn't support the modem 
functionality of the KPC3+.  I suspect it also draws a bit more power than 
a KPC3.

Nifty thing, though...
