Since the driver will make the modem look like any other network interface, you should be able to do this with the telnet command if the cluster supports that type of connection. Using the 'call' command (included in ax25-apps) should also work. There are also several terminal emulators available--for a pretty comprehensive list, see <http://radio.linux.org.au>. Additionally, Xdx is a specialized X client for use with DX clusters. You mentioned using SSH in your original message. That may violate rules against using encryption which exist in many countries. 73, Bob N7XY - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-hams" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
