[Xastir] has anyone ever considered an info kisok in xastir ?

[Craig Anderson]

I like the ax25 kernel stack too, but I have heard that those kernel modules are not multiprocessor safe.  I have not looked into it that deeply.  Does anyone know if that is true or not?  If not, then I'll have to run a single-processor version of Linux with AX.25 in a VM on my dual-processor Linux server.  Any hints would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Craig

Particularly, I'm using the "beacon" program from the Linux ax25 tools to generate an object for a repeater in the area.  It works out fairly well.  It's also allowed me to do some things like run aprsmon to listen to the radio channel while still having the digipeater working.
