This stuff is random info and links that I don't know if or how they apply...

• Launch Pat:
• $ sudo kissattach /dev/ttyXX wl2k 43.43.43.43
  However, I have not been able to find how to install kissattach command.
  OTOH, notes on (go to:) ax25 suggest it is an alternative method of configuring ax25, and isn't necessary if the other method is used...
  Proceeding (presumably):
  $ pat http
• You can manually specify what protocol to use with a pat command option.
  pat --listen ax25 http ... launches Pat using ax25
• NOTE:
• There are some lines in config file:
  "serial-tnc": {
  "path": "/dev/ttyUSB0",
  "baudrate": 9600,
  "type": "Kenwood"
• As noted in blog, I don't have a /dev/ttyUSB0,
  and baud in /etc/default/ax25 is set to 1200 so this line here may need to be changed,
  and also need to change Kenwood to Icom
• OTOH I've seen notes elsewhere that the serial port isn't even used anymore, so not sure if any of this is relevant...
• Misc Resources:
• (from: link 16):
