I am using Slackware w/ kernel 2.0.35 and ax25-utils-2.1.42a. Here is how I
start my ax25 stuff.
/usr/sbin/mkiss -s 1200 /dev/ttyS0 /dev/ptyq0 /dev/ptyq1
/usr/sbin/kissattach -i 44.36.41.150 /dev/ttyq0 ax0
/usr/sbin/kissparms -p ax0 -t 300 -s 100 -r 25
/usr/sbin/nrattach -i 44.36.41.150 netrom
/usr/sbin/netromd -i
/usr/sbin/mheardd -f
/usr/sbin/ax25d -l
/usr/sbin/ax25rtd
Here is what my axports looks like:
# /etc/ax25/axports
#
# The format of this file is:
#
# name callsign speed paclen window description
#
ax0 KE4IHI-7 1200 255 2 145.070 MHz (1200 bps)
Here is what my nrports looks like:
# /etc/ax25/nrports
#
# The format of this file is:
#
# name callsign alias paclen description
#
#netrom OH2BNS-10 #LNODE 235 Switch Port
netrom KE4IHI-6 IHIDX 235 Switch Port
This works for me. Other that this, you need to make sure your baud rate
from your computer to your TNC is 1200.
Hope this helps!
