Yes. You'd turn on "Interface->Enable Server Ports" on the Xastir instance running on the system with the AX.25 stack. This makes a TCP/IP port available which the other Xastir can connect to. You'd also need to enable gating of your packets through that system to the RF interfaces via the ~/.xastir/data/nws-stations.txt file. Enter the callsign-SSID of the remote Xastir station on a separate line in that file. I don't recall whether you'd have to enable igating on the Xastir interface and globally on the File->Configure->Defaults dialog as well. Test it and see. In any case I'm running a wireless laptop at home sometimes with Xastir, gating to RF via another Xastir on the desktop which is hooked to the TNC. Same basic setup as what you're asking about. -- Curt, WE7U.
