[Xastir] Multiple Servers
How does one provide for multiple internet servers in Xastir? Can multiple addresses be specified, with a delimiter, on the one line or is a separate interface declared for each instance? I can't seem to find clarification of this in the doc or help files. Ray vk2tv ___ Xastir mailing list Xastir@xastir.org http://lists.xastir.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xastir

Re: [Xastir] Serial port
This sounds like it might be that your user isn't on the list accepted users for serial ports. You might need to add your user login account to that group. Check the following: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/> ls -l /dev/ttyS0 crw-rw 1 root uucp 4, 64 2006-10-23 16:46 /dev/ttyS0 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/> This is the directory command to check permissions on ttyS0, and if you read across, you see that the owner is "root", and the group is "uucp". To enable xastir to work when I'm logged in with my user account "bob", I had to go into my users and groups manager, and insure that the "bob" account was a member of the "uucp" group. I use SuSE Linux v10.0, and with that Linux distribution, that's a feature of the YaST system management tool. I suspect that if my system hadn't auto-archived a bunch of stuff, that I'd find out what Linux distribution you're using, though I probably still don't know where to find an application to do what YaST does for me. So - take a look in /etc/group and find the group entry that matches the group entry in your /dev/ttyS0 directory listing, and add your login user account to it - assuming it's not already there.

[Xastir] Serial port
Well, here is a follow up to my MFJ serial tnc problem... I have validated that the hardware is working by using minicom on both ttyS0 and ttyS1 at 9600,8,n,1 All the 144.390 packets are decoded.. Now that leaves me with an Xastir problem I guess?? I can not make either ports go "up" in the Interface Control screen, :-( Is there something I failed to do in Xastir while I was installing it?

I am trying to use the Xastir / Interface control. and when I select serial tnc, Properties, and I set the correct baud rate and so forth, I close that window, and then I click on the interface which it is stopped, and I click on Start, nothing happens on that line, the Stopped stays stopped.

[Xastir] multiport KISS?
I'm thinking about ways to simplify the connection of multiple devices (TNCs, GPS, etc) - the old "one (or no) serial port and 5 devices" scenario. Does xastir have full multiport KISS support _without_ ax.25 kernel support? Not all of us run linux... It would be feasible to use a microcontroller to multiplex several devices onto one serial port, assuming the host application knows what to do with the data. It would be nice if this could be done for non-KISS devices, like GPS units, non-KISS TNCs, electronic compasses, DF units, etc. I suppose one cold use the microcontroller to convert everything to KISS. Some scheme for converting a GPS string to a KISS packet (APRS report with a special FROM call?) could probably be done, but that complicates the application for extracting the data. I realize this could be done elsewhere (ie, daemon to handle the de- muxing), but if xastir multiport KISS works or is close, that may be the easiest route. Yes, I know about the HASP hack, but I'm talking about something a bit more generic, handling multiple TNCs in both directions, etc. I'm getting ready for the next balloon chase and my USB hub is dead. Instead of spending $10 on a new hub, this is what I started thinking about. |: -Jason kg4wsv ___ Xastir mailing list Xastir@xastir.org http://lists.xastir.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xastir

Uncompressed objects display just fine. I did a test sending creating compressed objects on one Xastir instance and checking them on another. They worked fine.
