Hello Nate, N0BN, Hope all is well with you. I have tried twice to subscribe to "linux-hams" of "majordomo.vger.rutgers.edu" and get NO reply. So would you ask the following question on it for me. Why does Linux command: /sbin/ifconfig bc0 up cause the Linux message: SIOCSIFFLAGS: Permission denied or why does Linux command: /sbin/ifconfig bc0 hw ax25 1 up cause the same Linux message: SIOCSIFFLAGS: Permission denied Have a Tigertronics BayPac BP-96A plugged into the parellel port. At boot time the following Linux messages display: baycom: version 0.3 compiled 19:40:53 May 31 1998 lp1 at 0x0378, (polling) from my RedHat 4.2, 2.0.30, i486, system. Thanks and 73, Nate. John W0UT ... * ATP/Linux 1.50 * Packet amateur radio, where home built modems are legal.
