I have been working since jan 2011 in a set of scripts to make simpler the packet configuration in linux.
That work itself is called easypacket and I have not any mean of publishing it but this, it is launched as GPL 2.0 (Free software) and is in it's 1.0b3 release as a deb of about 15Kb.
Software features includes:- automatic configuration of soundmodem and ax25d for 1k2, 4k8 and 9k6 bauds, yes audio TNC, no hardware TNC. - working and tested at 1k2 & 4k8 AFSK and 9k6 FSK with less than 15% of packet loss in tcp/ip modes (4k8 & 9k6) and 0% in 1k2
- full support of OSS and testing ALSA right now- automatic detection of the correct sound card at bootup (ubuntu/debian swap the assignation of the interface on each bootup)
- start modems as simple as "packeton 1k2" or "packeton 9k6" - stop modems as simple as "packetoff" - deb packaged with dependences included- faster modes as 4k8 and 9k6 need direct output of detector and direct access to the modulator on a radio not capable of 9k6, or a 9k6 capable radio - implementation of new modes by demand is a breeze, as for example 2k4, or newQPSK - auto configuration of the firewall for not to send tcp/udp packages that pollutes the radio channel - must use a separate sound card for packet modem if you use a desktop on the machine, aka you have only one soundcard and use it for playing audio and video.
- user oriented- have man pages of each script and the complete manual is a work in progress
Users interested in try it can contact me directly by email at [email protected].
This is a beta software and is not exempt of bugs, that's the point, I need users to try it to found that bugs, any help is welcomed.
At this time I have only 3 testers here in Cuba and we want to release it to the public.
If any of you knows a better place to discuss/improve this software, please let me know, but only email, I'm in Cuba and I can't get google groups or yahoo groups either, and much other sites are banned to me.
Dave please, if you can host the binaries in your site in the contributed software I will appreciate it.
