Doesn't require that much traffic. Unless there is stations with bad RX that generates a huge number of resync requests. Since these aren't holes, you could wait for hours to get the full updated list stuck at 1K2bps. The time needed by the worst station.

PCR1000 UN*X Library/Software released
After many hard hours of labor, Ghetto.org proudly releases it's first mainstream product, the PCR-1000 Control Suite. The PCR-1000 is a wideband, PC-controlled receiver whose only decent control software was Win 9x/NT based. Because of Ghetto.org, there is now a *nix solution. Currently the code only compiles under Linux and BSD, and we would appreciate help in porting to other platforms. Please enjoy this work, and give us your feedback. The API is the main frame of the project. It is a set of C++ Objects that allow for easy integration into OOP languages. The API will compile into libraries (shared, at the moment) that you can use to develop your own programs. The X-Windows GUI requires QT 2.x to run ( http://www.troll.no ). It also includes a suite of command line utilities that do not require X. You can download the code right from ghetto.org: http://www.ghetto.org/projects Or follow the link from freshmeat.net ciao, elmo -- Homepage: http://polywog.navpoint.com/~elmo Sociology/Philosophy student at Drexel Univ "SO NOW I'M ALONE AND I CAN THINK FOR MYSELF ABOUT LITTLE DEALS AND S.U.'s AND THINGS I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND LIKE A WHITE LIE THAT NIGHT OR A SLY TOUCH AT TIMES I DON'T THINK IT MEANT ANYTHING TO YOU" -INSOC (Are Friends Electric)

I don't know if building the ax25-tools used headers from /usr/src/linux; I presume not because they're way out of date. However, I do have glibc 2.1 installed (required for ax25-tools from memory) and it of course supplies Linux 2.2.x headers in /usr/include/linux and /usr/include/asm. That x probably doesn't match the x of my actual kernel, but then that doesn't matter does it? ax25-tools requires glibc 2.1, and therefore it knows it can get 2.2.x headers in /usr/include anyway, as provided by glibc 2.1. glibc 2.1 is intended to be used on Linux 2.2. If a package needed _specific_ 2.2.x headers for the kernel I'm using, it would have to look elsewhere to get them. /usr/src/linux perhaps, although in my case it's in /usr/local/src/linux-2.2.

Re: Packet Terminal Program
Hi, Maybe the program "call" is what you are looking for? It is split screen. It is in the ax utils stuff (I forget where). 73, kjell sm7gvf Larry Molitor wrote: > > At 12:22 PM 12/16/99 +0200, Ray Heasman wrote: > > >Just a silly question perhaps.

We could try to blame the glibc folks but that too were unfair.

There are very good > reasons for doing so. Out of curiosity: How do they intend to cope with kernel api changes? Like the one we had in 2.0.35 -> 36 and again 2.0.x -> 2.2.x (and probably 2.2.x -> 2.4.x). I hope they have a plan. -- --- Tomi Manninen / [EMAIL PROTECTED] / OH2BNS @ OH2RBI.FIN.EU ---
