If its not part of the distro, you can get it here
http://www.baycom.org/~tom/ham/soundmodem/

Then you need to select the Line in as your 'capture' device in your  
sound mixer.  I use alsamixer.

soundmodemconfig is 'exactly what it says on the tin.

Once you are happy with the config, I use sudo soundmodem -v 9 (-v  
turns on debugging) to run it.

The callsigns/ssid you picked in the config above then needs to be  
added to your '/etc/ax25/axports' so that you can use them with  
normal linux ax25 applications.

Thats about it I think.

I modded your original tracking script a bit to allow me to go  
between several satellites.
