Trying to keep it on topic for Linux I did some clicking around on
the TAPR site and found things pretty dismal. Of course there is the
ax.25 stuff in the kernel. I also saw an mheard for gnome.
Searching the web however yielded lots of goodies.
The top hit for [linux ham radio] was:
http://radio.linux.org.au/
which showed a knoppix for hams link.
As for hardware I saw this at www.timewave.com under the amateur radio link:
PK-96/100
9600/1200bps TNC with GPS, 100K MailDrop, w/demo packet and GPS software
$219.95
Not what I'd call inexpensive...
On a hunch I googled [TNC sound card] and found this:
http://www.patmedia.net/ralphmilnes/soundcardpacket/
Which looks like a M$ program. But, Hey if they can do it so can we. :-)
Adding linux to the mix, [TNC sound card linux], I found this:

Henry, what's good for you? I just finished up two projects
and am free for the first time in a couple years.

This idea of using the sound hardware might have killed dedicated hardware
solutions for TNCs.
