Hi Folks, Well, for soundmodem to work, you do not really need k-ax25. It is all in user space. You can see the soundmodem as an KISS-TNC, but with all in Software. Using an pipe, (pty/tty pair) you should be able to use it without the kernel ax25 support!
So, Xastir <--> soundmodem should NOT need an running k-ax25 73, Luc On Tuesday 08 March 2005 21:07, Richard Adams wrote: > On Tuesday 08 March 2005 19:20, Jeff Camp wrote: > > Ron, I had the same problem with FC3 and soundmodem.
