[nos-bbs] JNOS + ax25 stack = a necessity or not? FYI

[MJ Inabnit]

Thanks for the update Brian!  I know the debian packages were getting 
really old.  There has been a full flood of new packages being madly 
compiled and available for testing.  I really hope the new crew is able 
to get all new ham packages brought into testing.

You are very correct, from debian it flows to many variants (mint for 
mysef) so I am very glad to see the new software coming into my updates.

Again, thank you for all your hard work.  We all really are very much in 
your (and your fellow hackers) debt!
