Soundmodem
Written by Tom Sailer (HB9JNX/AE4WA) to allow a standard PC soundcard to act as a packet radio modem for use with the various AX.25 communication modes. The data rate can be as high as 9600 baud depending on the hardware and application.
Note:
- Soundmodem can be used as a KISS modem on the serial port or as an AX.25 network device.
- No upstream can be found for Soundmodem as of 2022-03-20, the AUR package pulls the software from archive.org instead, use at your own risk.
