+## Mobilinkd
+
+I use blueman-manager, a graphical tool to manage bluetooth devices. Because I
+actually hate bluetooth and its unpredictability...
+
+right click on to TNC4 Mobilinkd, Connect with: serial port
+
+that will create /dev/rfcomm0
+
+open that port with KISS
+
+~~~console
+$ sudo kissattach /dev/rfcomm0 wl2k
+AX.25 port wl2k bound to device ax0
+~~~
+
+For now, I haven't enabled auto-connect of the serial port.
+
+We can now use this in pat http when we select AX.25+linux
+
+There are a few files that need to be prepared.
+
+/etc/ax25/axports
+
+~~~squid
+# /etc/ax25/axports
+#
+# The format of this file is:
+#
+# name callsign speed paclen window description

+#2	OH2BNS-9	38400	255	7	TNOS/Linux  (38400 bps)
+wl2k OE7DRT 1200 255 7 Winlink
