Well, think for a moment: since AX.25 frames contain callsigns, you can
now use non-ham IP networks to transport stuff that is legal to transmit,
since it contains required station identification information that standalone
IP lacked.  Presumably you'll use the IP address to verify that the packet
originated at a trusted station that's relaying real ham-originated packets,
and then you can just stuff the embedded AX.25 packet out on the air.

Current USA-only FCC {cr,fl}ap about message verification omitted, of course.

However, the original purpose of this was to allow tunneling of frames
around a local network, say in a campus or metropolitan area.

But mainly it's for hacking and groping.  Play with it and see what you get.
