I don't think there would be a driver for it in a Multitasking
enviroment. The Baycom modem needs 1800 Interrupts per second to
work. I have also a Baycom modem and I have to buy a real TNC.

Hey, you could always hook it to a beat-up 286, run a DOS-
based package, and have the Linux machine talk to that.
Of course this suggestion is of little use if a DOS package
doesn't exist, just a thought. (A '286 can be had for
a ridiculously small number of dollars these days second-hand.)

Of course you best use a Z8530 (SCC)-based board instead of either
the Baycom 'solution' or a TNC. It costs less than a TNC and provides
better and easier control by the software.

This can be done very easily with even an 8088 and one of the NOS packages for
DOS. JNOS would work very well. It has SLIP support built in, so you could
link the two machines easily. JNOS even has _good_ documentation on how to do
this!
