Hello,
sethdlc is for our packet-radio soundcard modems.

sethdlc was written by Thomas Sailer, HB9JNX/AE4WA
(t.sai...@alumni.ethz.ch). Inspired by setserial.
Sethdlc 0.1 27 April 2008 SETHDLC(8)
If both projects would rename their tools, we could discuss.
I add Author hb9jnx to Cc for asking about his opinion.
And ‚no‘, my next software project INITiative would not be named ‚init‘ and not
be placed to /sbin/ — Lol ;))
