Yes. It'll work with the AX.25 stack -or- with the "soundmodem"
driver set up as a serial KISS TNC -or- with a KISS TNC on a direct
serial port -or- with a non-KISS TNC on a direct serial port.
Of course the only way to share TNC's with other apps is to use the
AX.25 stack.
Xastir has a "View->Incoming Data" dialog so you can see whether
packets are coming in at all once you set up an AX.25 interface in
Xastir and enable it.
You'll also have to do "chmod 4755 /usr/local/bin/xastir" as root in
order to give Xastir the proper privileges to open an AX.25
networking port. Xastir drops privileges to normal user level
unless it's messing with ports where it needs root privilege.
Ahh, I knew that if I waited long enough I would get the info on how to set
up a Xastir port on a Linux FPAC switch so we can add that function to
our switch stack.....
