I believe Bdale Garbee mentioned he was considering a port.

It may not hurt to try to port several implementations, including the PC/IP
versions (created at MIT, now available from CMU), which is already built on
the base of a tasking package that runs on the IBM PC and has been ported to
to the Mac.  The KA9Q package probably has lots of AX.25 code that you'd want
to rip out anyway.
