+# ARDOP-plugin
+
+Optional **MAX25-Stack plugin** for operators who run **third-party ARDOP host software** alongside MAX25.
+
+**CRDOP (MAX25-SoftModem)** is the MAX25 standard sound-card modem — native M25/KISS on TCP :8515/:8516. ARDOP is **not** part of CRDOP and is **not** enabled via `soft-crdop` or `crdop.ini`.
+
+## When to use
+
+| Path | Use |
+|------|-----|
+| **CRDOP (default)** | Native MAX25-SoftModem — M25/KISS host via `crdopc` / `audio-dummyd` |
+| **ARDOP-plugin** | Operator-provided ARDOP host (Winlink-class wire) — separate from CRDOP |
+
+## Platform
+
+| Host | Notes |
+|------|-------|
+| **Linux / KLinux** | Typical for third-party ARDOP host software |
+| **FreeBSD / *BSD** | CRDOP/OSS only — ARDOP host not integrated in MAX25 |
+| **macOS / Windows** | Out of scope for MAX25 daemon path |
+
+## Operator workflow
+
+1. Install and run an ARDOP-capable modem host on the operator machine (third-party software).
+2. Point HyBBX or another consumer at the ARDOP host TCP ports per that software's documentation.
+3. Do **not** set CRDOP or `soft-crdop` INI flags for ARDOP — CRDOP remains native M25/KISS only.
