Hello Stan,

?

With physical TNC's there is a serial connection from the computer to
the TNC, whereby an operator can go into a "command" mode interaction
between the computer and the TNC. Is this possible with direwolf on
linux

With Direwolf alone, no, this isn't possible.? Now, if you install LinBPQ and the TNC2 emulator package, yes, it's possible.? ? The BPQ32 package is very powerful but from the sounds of your use case, it could be like killing a fly with a sledgehammer but the choice is up to you.?

I would like to learn how, if even possible, to do very simple "texting"
in this manner, keyboard to keyboard via a digipeater without any other
software involved.

I assume you want to send just strings of text out on your packet channel?? On a physical TNC, you could do this with the "unproto" command (sends UI frames).? If you have Direwolf configured to work with the Linux AX.25 stack, you can use the "beacon" program to send those strings.? You can also use the Linpac program with the Linux native AX.25 stack to send UI packets as well as use it's dedicated F10 UI-mode screen.?? There are also other programs out there that can use Direwolf's KISS interface directly like UI-Chat or LinkUp - or even D-RATS (does a lot more than just D-star).? There are other programs out there but I don't want to choke you with too may options.

Can I do this with direwolf whether linux or windows, and is so, how?

You have to make some decision here.? Which environment do you want to use?? Windows or Linux??
Thinking a little longer term, do you want to ultimately run a BBS (BPQ32) or would you rather only have a packet client (Linpac)?? Maybe you would want a more pretty UI to send the packets (LinkUp, UI-Chat, D-RATS)
