gensio-modems
python-based ham-radio modem utilities (ax25, kiss, vara) built using gensio.
Currently enough functionality is provided to host a Winlink RMS
gateway, and connect to it (and others) via pat
telnet sessions.
Install gensio-modems
python3 -m venv ./.venv
. .venv/bin/activate
pip install gensio-modems
alternatively, if you don't want a virtualenv,
pip install --user gensio-modems
vara
RMS/Winlink capable gateway for VARA and VARA FM
python gensio_modems.vara \
-l KF7HVM-10 \
--banner "gensio+vara experimental rms gateway" \
--gateway "rms,tcp,cms.winlink.org,8772"
ax25
a simple ax25 listener-to-gensio proxy, useful for passing off to BBS or gateway software.

Expose an ax25 client connection via a telnet listener.
python -m gensio_modems.proxy \
--mycall KF7HVM-1 \
-k tcp,localhost,8010 \
--listen tcp,localhost,8772
In pat, connect via telnet to pat:KF7HVM-10@localhost:8772.
The "password" is taken as the gateway to connect to!
