And from what I've seen has a few largish teething bugs. Such as traffic
to your own slip address from you going down the slip line all the way to
the remote host and relying on their router to turn it round and send it
back...

Phil's AX.25 layer is now GPL'd so all you have to do is wrap it in a DLL
and maybe emulate winsockapi for calls. The big screwup here seems to be
that you can't have multiple protocol DLL's sitting inside of winsock so
you have to use a different DLL
