Hi John,

Yes, that's the idea.

Not yet. In order to go through a digipeater, I have to implement a
little bit of AX.25, which I have not yet done.

Anything that works over a D-STAR radio should work over a TNC.

Correct, it would bridge the traffic and all functions should work. If
you add a network port in there, you could have some stations on a TNC,
some on D-STAR, and some connecting in over the network or internet.
Hope that helps!
