 Will any of the RPMs for LinKT work with Red Hat 5.2?  

I don't think so. They are built by SuSE for SuSE 6.2/6.3, so
they need at least glibc 2.1. They might work on RedHat 6.x if you
override dependencies using rpm --nodeps.

We don't do rpms ourselves, if RedHat will package LinKT for their
distribution some day like SuSE does, will will offer them on our
site.

On the other hand, you may try to get SuSEs source rpms and try
to build them on your system. I just don't know if they are
available somewhere (Kai?). If they are, install the source
using rpm -i linkt-0.6.2.src.rpm, go to /usr/src/redhat/SPECS
and do a "rpm -bb linkt.spec". If this succeeds, you can send me
the binary rpm (in /usr/src/redhat/RPMS) and I will put it on
our ftp.

I will try to make Debian/potato packages. (I have done so
already, but they are not yet ready for distribution)

Packet Terminal Program

1999-12-14 Thread Larry Molitor

In a few recent posts, there was mention of a need for a Linux packet
terminal program. A possibility or two were suggested.

Perhaps someone could help with my ongoing search for a Linux "packet
terminal" look-alike that runs a telnet session instead of (or in addition
to) AX25.

Split screen, scroll back, upload, download, and log file are features that
are desireable. What would be undesireable would be the need to run it in a
"X" environment.

Is there such a thing? Perhaps another type of application that could be
easily patched for telnet? 

Thanks.

TNT uses textmode and so it can be used over telnet. Additionally an
console application exists, which can be used to connect and maintain
TNT.
TNT should have all features you request, and a new stable version will
appear soon.

On the other side you also can run X-programs like LinKT, by setting
DISPLAY enviroment variable in your telnet session.

NEWQPSK (Q15X25) for linux released

1999-12-14 Thread Tomi Manninen

Hi all,

I just uploaded newqpsk-0.0.1.tar.gz, a Linux / soundcard implementation
of the 15 tone parallel AX.25 compatible HF modem to ftp.hes.iki.fi. 
The original modem was by Pawel Jalocha, SP9VRC for the DSP56002EVM and my
work is a port of that code to Linux. 

This is to be considered a beta release. All features of the original
modem are not yet implemented, setting up the modem might be a bit tricky
and there are still some issues to be solved. However it is functional and
I have used it for real life QSOs with performance comparable to Pawels
original modem. So please test it and report any success or failure to me!

Here is the URL:

  ftp://ftp.hes.iki.fi/pub/ham/linux/ax25/newqpsk-0.0.1.tar.gz

Please read the README and INSTALL files first and have fun!

Info about AWZNode and glibc

1999-12-14 Thread Stefano Noferi

Hi linuxers,

this message is just to remember that AWZNode v0.3b run with Redhat,
Suse and other distibutions with glibc (libc6). The problem is compiling
it.
If you install in your libc6 linux distribution the libc5 libraries and
you get AWZNode v0.3b binaries pre-compiled you can run it without any
problem.

I'm working to AWZNode v0.4...
Send me your ideas!

Thank's to all and 73's de AWZ Stefano



Packet Terminal RFC [was Re: Packet Terminal Program]

1999-12-14 Thread James S. Kaplan KG7FU

Ideally, a "dumb-user" application will have those desireable
operating features
plus the following:

a) ability to do tnc command mode e.g. not just KISS mode.

b) easy to install, no wierd lib dependancies or complicated
scripting.

c) built with X awarness in mind, if we want an X front-end too.

d) "hot keys" for user specified commands  external scripting.

e) support or awarness for compression, both during connects and
post e.g. ZTelnet and 7-Plus.

ax25 help

1999-12-14 Thread Brian

Are there any stateside hams who have had success running the ax25 stuff
in Linux?  It seems all the development and examples are European or
VK/ZL.
Which is good for them.  There is not much packet activity here in
Houston,
and even less NOS operation.  I'm convinced it can be done (HI) I just
need
a bit of help installing the files in the right places and fine tuning
them
for my installation.

Please, those who want to rant about RTFM, just address that to
/dev/null.
I have a 386SX with Redhat 5.2 and the AX25 stuff compiled in the
kernel.
Some of the files go into /etc, and I guess some go into /etc/ax25. 
Somehow,
the whole thing is started by a script somewhere.

I want to run on a single tnc on VHF and would like to run the JNOS type
operation, that is available in the kernel.  I'm not looking to link
into
ethernet and other ports (yet).  Any elmer would be appreciated.  Reply
to me

Re: ax25 help

1999-12-14 Thread James S. Kaplan KG7FU

Brian,

You need to read the (somewhat outdated) AX.25-HOWTO and the docs for
your NOS.

I am running several nodes with CLX packet cluster, http, smtp, irc,
ftp, telnet
etc. Each PC and each installation is unique, so help is difficult
without detailed
info on your troubles.

For first steps, I suggest reading the FAQ's and HOWTO's until you can
recite
them in your sleep, then un-tar and install your packages. One of the
more common
problems is correct file/directory permissions.

E-mail me off the list if you like, but I'm no expert and no
programmer!

Probably you don't have symbolic links:
  /usr/include/asm to /usr/src/linux/include/asm-i386
  /usr/include/linux to /usr/src/linux/include/linux

or probably you don't have the kernel source tree uncompressed in
/usr/src/linux.
