Xastir works well with the AX.25 stuff(as it should), I'm able to get
packets between both machines using AXIP, the hard part is trying to
figure out how to get data to/from the TNC to Xastir using AXIP on the
remote machine where the TNC is connected. I've seen AX25d come up
more than once, can AX25d be used for APRS or is it more geared
towards conventional connected mode packet?

Maybe AX25d is what I need to focus my sights on?

I have javaprssrvr setup to talk to ax25:
  TNCModule=javAPRSDigi
  digiTNCInterface=ax25Interface
  ax25TNCPortName=aprs

Then I also have digi_ned talking to ax25
  digi_ned -p aprs
(notice the same port name was used).

Then I have the aprs port setup in my axports file:
  aprs    KI4HDU  9600    255     2       SOUNDMODEM
  #kiss   KI4HDU-0        9600    255     2       KISS

The kiss line was used when I had a kiss mode TNC attached. I would change hte
port in the javaprssrvr ini and the digi_ned startup to use the kiss port as
opposed to the aprsw port.

Before I startup javaprssrvr and digi_ned, I start ax25d (/usr/sbin/ax25d);
before I startup ax25d, I start my low level interfaces.
For the aprs port defined above:  /usr/sbin/sounmodem -M -s
For the kiss port defined above: /usr/sbin/kissattach /dev/ttyS0 kiss
192.168.10.1

Note that the port name on the kissattach command, "kiss", matches the port
defined in the axports file.

So I can have multiple things accessing the same TNC on the same box (via the
ax25d), but I have not yet figured out how to do that remotely.

Hope this helps!
