Announcing N2YGK's Linux aprsdigi-2.0.		April 2, 1999

Several hams have been using my original Linux APRS(tm) digipeater,
aprsdigi, for a couple of years now.  It was found in the arpsmon.zip
package (don't ask) on ftp.tapr.org.  Release 2.0 of this advanced
APRS digipeater is now available for free under the terms of the GNU
Public License (GPL) at ftp://ftp.tapr.org/aprssig/linux/aprsdigi-2.0.tgz.
It is also available for Red Hat Linux as aprsdigi-2.0-1.i386.rpm
and aprsdigi-2.0-1.src.rpm.

Major features of this release of aprsdigi:

- MYCALL substitution.
- WIDE, WIDEn-n, TRACE, and TRACEn-n.
- As many radio interfaces as you can plug into your Linux machine
  with flexible gatewaying between them.
- Special handling for Mic-Encoder, Kenwood TH-D7, and TheNet X1J4, including
  SSID-based digipeating.
- Suppression of duplicate and looping packets.
- Works with Linux 2.2 kernel AX.25 network stack.  This means any AX.25
  interface supported by the kernel will work, not just a TNC2 clone.
  Examples include all the BAYCOM interfaces (BAYPAC, PICPAR, PICSER, etc.),
  soundcards, 8530 SCC cards, etc.

This distribution also includes an updated version of aprsmon, but,
unless you require support for other than a TNC-2, I recommend using
WA4DSY's aprsd instead.
