Networking Without Wires: Radio Based TCP/IP

From the introduction: "This book describes how ham radio operators can harness the power of the world’s most popular networking protocol, TCP/IP, to build better — and more useful — packet radio networks Networking Without Wires is an introduction to TCP/IP operation over ham radio. It’s intended to help hams with some experience in packet radio get started with NOS— the TCP/IP software written by Phil Karn, KA9Q, and others. It is not intended to take the place of an in-depth NOS reference manual, but rather to provide an understanding of what TCP/IP is, and how hams can use it to improve our packet radio operations. Additionally, in the couple of years it’s become practical to use tools other than NOS to put TCP/IP on the air, and I will talk about those options as well. In particular, I'll describe how to use the built-in AX.25 capabilities of the Linux operating system to put the full Linux TCP/IP suite on the air. I had three goals in writing this book, and its parts reflect them. Part 1 describes how TCP/IP works generally, and concentrates on IP addressing and routing in particular because these two areas are the meat of the TCP/IP scheme. Parts 2 and 3 show how to get NOS
