Well, I think that that steers me in the general direction, but that sill doesn't really work. I wonder why there isn't a piece of software that just pretends to be like a TNC so that I can can fit everything neatly into one terminal window. I've been following the AX25-HOWTO to get everything going. Here's what I did: # setserial /dev/ttyS0 uart none # insmod hdlcdrv # insmod baycom mode="ser12*" iobase=0x3f8 irq=4 # sethdlc -p -i bcsh0 mode "ser12*" io 0x3f8 irq 4 #ifconfig bcsh0 hw ax25 KG6THI-2 up Then I added this line to /etc/ax25/axports: 1 KG6THI-2 1200 255 2 (1200 bps) Then running something like "listen -a" yields: axconfig: port 1 not active listen: no AX.25 port data configured I'm not really clear on the difference between a "port" and the "interface" bcsh0; but that is probably an 'RTFM' issue. I want to think that somehow I need to associate the bcsh0 interface to the ax.25 "port", "1".
