Yes - this is actually taken from some of the Xastir docs.. http://nwp.ampr2.net/jnos/RemoteSerial As long as you're on one Linux box, it works best to KISSATTACH the external device and then multiple applications can all use the AX25 device at the same time. If you need to access it from an application that talks KISS but not Linux-AX25, then use the net2kiss command to bring the AX25 data to a virtual serial port. That's how JNOS talks "packet" on a linux system. 73 Bill - WA7NWP
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.
