[Xastir] Re: Which distrro are you using

[Tom ve7did]

I use it... but not a multiport tnc
Perhaps the following may not be applicable for multiport
I use Slackware

Is ax25 compiled in your kernel or using modules?

Do you have your /etc/ax25/axports file set up?

# /etc/ax25/axports
#
# The format of this file is:
# name callsign speed paclen window description
#
kisstnc va7gq		9600	255	2	144.390 Mhz (1200  bps)


Do you have your /etc/rc.d/rc.local set up?

# Add the kissattach command to configure the ax25 port
# and use a fictious ip address for the port and ensure it is out of your 
network
/usr/sbin/kissattach /dev/ttyS2 kisstnc 192.169.100.100
# Set up the radio & tnc parameters
/usr/sbin/kissparms -p kisstnc -t 300 -s 100 -r 25

Do you have your tnc in kiss mode?

Have you tried the <listen> command from a term?
Any activity?

There may be other things or other ways to do it, but this may be start.  It 
works for me for a single port.
