Thanks for that Bob. We don't use WIDE1-1 "locally", in the UK there are people using WIDE2-2, TRACE, RELAY and all other variations on that theme. The topography here means that our relays/gateways need to carry whatever they're sent, and not get fussy about it.
I previously used UI-VIEW, which was as reliable as the Window95 machine that ran it (until it caught fire!), but being used to running linux on other servers, I gave xastir a go, and was impressed with it. However, digging through the help pages, it doesn't really tell me much, I'm not a guru, just a user that prefers linux for stability, and the line that it describes is nowhere to be seen in my config file. I find a line which has something like DIGIPEAT:1 at the end of it, in the port config section which relates to my TNC port, but nothing that shows me a path like WIDE1-1, or 2-2 or whatever. If anyone has got an example config file that handles multiple routes, as just WIDE1-1 would be too restrictive, I would appreciate some pointers. Regards Rob.

Hi Rob, Have you taken a look at the built-in help topic called "Configure Serial KISS TNC"? It mentions that the default configured digipeating paths include your call and WIDE1-1. If that's not what's being used locally, it tells you what item in the xastir.cnf file to hand-edit, and to make you do so while xastir isn't running. Hope that helps! Also, you didn't mention what firmware you're using in your TNC2 - some of them had bugs - I think v1.0.8 was the one that notably failed to obey having full-duplex disabled. 73, Bob, KD7NM -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rob Compton Sent: Wednesday, September 17, 2008 10:21 AM To: xastir@xastir.org Subject: [Xastir] Digipeating question. Hi all, I have a system running under Gentoo with a fairly current kernel (2.6.22) The TNC is a TNC2 running in KISS mode, and is controlled directly from xastir. It's running as an iGate, and happily ports data from RF to Inet, no problem. It also ports data from Inet to RF. But it doesn't digipeat RF, even though the box is selected in the port settings. Any ideas on why I'm missing?
