[ax25-layer2] Basic Concepts

[James Wagner]

At this point, I am still scratching my head about what problem the
list is trying to solve.

Is it the issue of wide-area digipeating on a single access frequency
(as used by APRS)? It seems to me that this particular problem, and all
of the attendant hidden-transmitter issues, will persist, no matter how
the regional packet transport is handled, or whether you move some
things from layer 2 to layer anything elser, so long as there is an
insistance on a single frequency

Or, is it that the current definition of ax.25 is aesthetically
unpleasant?

Or, is it the fact that, lacking sufficiently intelligent "terminal"
software, keyboard users have to know something about the architecture
of their NetRom local network? Right now, I am working on "sufficiently
intelligent" software to make this transparent to the user. If it
works, I see no reason to change what happens where in ax.25!

Or, is that TNCs are aesthically klunky? I would argue that most of are
aesthetically klunky!

Or, is there something else, very likely, that I don't understand?
