Yes, there are setup examples somewhere just exactly for that. Infact I think
they may be in the FPAC stuff. I will look around. But all of that is
suppored in
the kernel. 

First refer to the ax25 how to:  Section 6.1.1.1 Configuring for Dual Port TNC's
http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/AX25-HOWTO/x495.html

Folks, from personal experience, you SHOULD read the ax25 how to, just
go to the address above and start at the beginning. Most Linux distros now
have it as part of the documentation so if you have a distro at home you
probably already have it. I fooled around for a long time before doing so,
trying to get stuff running the hard way, I should have just RTFM and asked
a few questions on the linux hams list, as I ended up doing and got it running
forth with.


Here is a fine example of a configuration file from Jose Marti. The octothorped
lines are comments if you are not familiar with a shell script. 

That is same like the KAM if you think to use with the ax25 tools

I have my kpc9612+ like this:

rc.mkiss
--------
#!/bin/sh
#---------------------------------------------------
# 1 -- VHF 145.010 1200 bds (Tnc Kpc9612P
# 2 -- UHF 445.100 9600 bds (Tnc Kpc9612P
#---------------------------------------------------
echo "KPC9612P PORTS, AX.25:"
#
#--------------------------------------------------
# KPC9612P on ComPort COM2 - DualPorts
#--------------------------------------------------
/usr/sbin/mkiss -s 9600 /dev/ttyS1 /dev/ptyq0 /dev/ptyq1 &
#
#-------------------------------------------------
# Kiss DualPort0 - Port of VHF 145.010 Port #1
#-------------------------------------------------
/usr/kissattach /dev/ttyq0 1 10.0.0.1
/sbin/ifconfig ax0 10.0.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.248 broadcast 10.0.0.7 up
#
#-------------------------------------------------
# Kiss DualPort1 - Port of UHF 145.010 Port #2
#-------------------------------------------------
/usr/kissattach /dev/ttyq0 2 10.0.0.1
/sbin/ifconfig ax1 10.0.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.248 broadcast 10.0.0.7 up
#
axports
-------
1 HI8GN-3 9600 236 3 145.010 (1K2 bds)
2 HI8GN-6 9600 255 5 445.100 (9K6 bds)

this is if you are asking for kpc9612 over the ax25
