  7	  KISS is a protocol used for the exchange of data between a computer
  8	  and a Terminal Node Controller (a small embedded system commonly
  9	  used for networking over AX.25 amateur radio connections; it
 10	  connects the computer's serial port with the radio's microphone
 11	  input and speaker output).
 12
 13	  Although KISS is less advanced than the 6pack protocol, it has
 14	  the advantage that it is already supported by most modern TNCs
 15	  without the need for a firmware upgrade.

 50	---help---
 51	  This is a driver for high-speed SCC boards, i.e. those supporting
 52	  DMA on one port. You usually use those boards to connect your
 53	  computer to an amateur radio modem (such as the WA4DSY 56kbps
 54	  modem), in order to send and receive AX.25 packet radio network
 55	  traffic.
 56
 57	  Currently, this driver supports Ottawa PI/PI2, Paccomm/Gracilis
 58	  PackeTwin, and S5SCC/DMA boards. They are detected automatically.
 59	  If you have one of these cards, say Y here and read the AX25-HOWTO,
 60	  available from <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
 61
 62	  This driver can operate multiple boards simultaneously. If you
 63	  compile it as a module (by saying M instead of Y), it will be called
 64	  dmascc. If you don't pass any parameter to the driver, all
 65	  possible I/O addresses are probed. This could irritate other devices
 66	  that are currently not in use. You may specify the list of addresses
 67	  to be probed by "dmascc.io=addr1,addr2,..." (when compiled into the
 68	  kernel image) or "io=addr1,addr2,..." (when loaded as a module). The
 69	  network interfaces will be called dmascc0 and dmascc1 for the board
 70	  detected first, dmascc2 and dmascc3 for the second one, and so on.
 71
 72	  Before you configure each interface with ifconfig, you MUST set
 73	  certain parameters, such as channel access timing, clock mode, and
 74	  DMA channel. This is accomplished with a small utility program,
 75	  dmascc_cfg, available at
 76	  <http://www.linux-ax25.org/wiki/Ax25-tools>. Please be sure to
 77	  get at least version 1.27 of dmascc_cfg, as older versions will not
 78	  work with the current driver.
