I'm trying to get a bit further in my configuration than before. Basically, I need some advice on how to set up ports and nodes, etc. I have 3 9612 tnc's on ttyS0, ttyS1 and ttyS2, attached with mkiss and kissattach. They map out to: ax tty hardware t1p1 ttyq0 tnc1 port1 t1p2 ttyq1 tnc1 port2 t2p1 ttyq2 tnc2 port1 t2p2 ttyq3 tnc2 port2 t3p3 ttyq5 tnc3 port2 I have no radio for tnc3 port1. The question is how to map netrom nodes and hardware ports. The tables below should give you an idea of what I'm up to: KG7FU radio ports (hardware) speed channel tnc+port description in.axports 1200 145.06 t1p1 (1200 Baud) User Port t1p1 9600 223.700 t1p2 (9600 Baud) User Port and LAN (DXTMB) t1p2 1200 223.46 t2p1 (1200 Baud) CLX Link W7AT t2p1 9600 430.05 t2p2 (9600 Baud) LAN (SALEM) t2p2 (none 1200 none t3p1 (not active)) 9600 434.700 t3p2 (9600 Baud) User Port and LAN (CLXTST) t3p2 KG7FU virtual ports ssid hardware association program in /etc/ax25/ax25d.conf -1 t1p1 KG7FU-1:LBS /usr/sbin/node node -2 t1p1 KG7FU-2:EUGCLX /usr/local/clx/bin/net_usr net_usr -x %u -3 t1p1 KG7FU-4:ECHAT /usr/sbin/convers convers %u -4 t1p1 KG7FU-4:PMS /usr/sbin/pms pms -o %u kg7fu -5 t1p1 KG7FU-5:#AXSP /usr/sbin/axspawn axspawn %u -1? t1p2 KG7FU-1:LBS /usr/sbin/node node -6 t2p1 KG7FU-5:#CLX /usr/sbin/node node -1? t2p2 KG7FU-1:LBS /usr/bin/node node -1? t3p2 KG7FU-1:LBS /usr/sbin/node node In other words, I have a need for users connnecting to radio ports t1p1, t1p2 and t3p2 to all see kg7fu-1:LBS. This is to maintain compatibility with existing hardware nodes. I also want to provide additional services on t1p1 without having to resort to wampes or some other frontend. How would you accomplish this? tia - de KG7FU ----------------------------- James S.
