[nos-bbs] Help with getting minimal JNOS configuration working

[Chris Maness]

Our pleasure (I hope I can speak for all who replied), and you may
certainly run into some snags but reach out here or on:

https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v5.10/networking/ax25.html

Also, the "official" AX.25 user space programs are out of date, but
unfortunately the "fixed/updated" versions are found here:

https://github.com/ve7fet/linuxax25

The contain a script that should make .deb packages for you.  I am
going to assume for now that you are familiar with git and chmod to
run the script in the top level directory of this git repository.

These links should save you from some "pain".
