Re: ax25 help
Sure, there are a few of us... (actually, quite a few). I have sample configuration info at http://www.febo.com/linux-ax25.html. It doesn't reflect the latest kernel and ax25 utils (yet), but the basic structure I present will work with the new stuff, with a few parameter changes to some of the tools.

Re: ax25 help
Brian, You need to read the (somewhat outdated) AX.25-HOWTO and the docs for your NOS.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! gl de James KG7FU - James S.
