# /etc/ax25/axports

# The format of this file is:

port1   KA5STE-2        9600    255     2       Port1
port2   KA5STE-15       9600    255     2       Port2

don't have a rc.local
do have rc0.1 thu rc6.d and rcS.d

Before I run kissattach I need to run mkiss
# /usr/sbin/mkiss -s 9600 /dev/ttyS1 /dev/ptyq0 /dev/ptyq1
# /usr/sbin/kissattach /dev/ttyq0 port1 10.22.22.200
kissattach: Error setting line discipline: TIOCSETD: Invalid argument
Are you sure you have enabled MKISS support in the kernel
or, if you made it a module, that the module is loaded?
I think ax25 module in loaded is there a mkiss module too?
