as TCP uses SOCK_STREAM) - there's no requirement with SOCK_STREAM
that the sender and receiver coordinate on the size of the largest
write operation. This would seem to ease the software compatibility
problem quite a bit!

Google knows everything, if you look hard enough.
I finally found
http://www.lanana.org/docs/device-list/devices.txt
which told me how the legacy pty devices are numbered and named.
With that in hand, I can

Hi,
I'm slowly figuring out ax25 and linux, having done neither before.
My motivation is trying to build a digipeater/igate on OpenWRT -
the hardware is cheap and reliable and runs on a minimal 12V
supply, so it's pretty much ideal, once you add a serial port.
I've got the hardware, I've got a ke
