At any rate, this was a difference I noticed moving from RedHat 9 to Fedora C3.

Ron, I had the same problem with FC3 and soundmodem. I solved it by enabling MKISS support (CONFIG_MKISS) and rebuilding the kernel. The AX25 stuff was already there, but MKISS was not enabled by default. It works great now.
I dont want to be a wet ass, however my fedora core kernel has # CONFIG_HAMRADIO is not set
which in turn means that there is no support for hamradio in fedora kernels at all, that is if i see it correctly.
To make it clear, my kernel is 2.6.9-1.681_FC3 which i do belive was updated by up2date.
Futher more i can see no support for AX25 in other kernels from fedora.
On another note if i am correct, to configure mkiss in �make menuconfig� one needs to check the box
Device Drivers
-> Networing Support
Then check
[ ] Amateur Radio support --->
Considering my .config file did not include an asterisk in that box i presume that Fedore does not supply kernels with AX25 at all.
Or am i incorrect in saying this.???
Also to make it quite clear i dont use a soundmodem so i cannot really conribute anything else to this thread, i just thought it worth mentioning.
Hope you dont mind.

Thanks to all who responded to my query.
I am aware that 'soundmodem' is usermode software but I tried loading the modules anyway, out of desperation.
'make menuconfig' suggests that ax.25 is hard coded in my kernel.
I have this sample of an 'axport' file which addresses 'sm0':
"sm0 KA1FSB-8 1200 255 2 145.630 Mhz "Wellesley, MA" 1200 bps soundmodem"
but it doesn't help. I've tried many variations on sample configurations with negative results.
'xastir' will allow me to bring up a 'kiss' device on any port I choose but none communicate with soundmodem. The xastir manual tells me to use ax25.
'Listen' informs me that my ax25 ports aren't active.

I, reluctantly, must include myself among the computer illiterate and when I discovered that 'soundmodem' is available for windows I downloaded 'soundmodem', 'flexnet32' and 'paxon' and was decoding packets within 15 minutes start to finish. In view of the time it takes to get anything up and running with Linux, I'm inclined to counter that, perhaps,
Linux is Life's tax on those of us who don't have one.
It has to be it's own reward. I'll keep trying things until something works.
Thanks again, Ron 73 VE3DTT
