That may be tough to do, since AX.25 is bit-stuffed and not all
"words" are 8 bits; some are 9 bits. RS232 deals with fixed word sizes
only, so you will not be able to simply dump bytes out a serial port
with standard methods that are byte-oriented.

You may figure out some way to bit-bang an RS232 handshake line to get
the equivalent data stream; I think some devices do that.
