The link to remserial and net2kiss turns out to be exactly what I wanted. I have a soundmodem TNC which is controlled by the AX.25 stack. digi_ned talks to the ax.25 stack as does javaprssrvr.
Today I added net2kiss which talks to ax.25 and creates a virtual serial port; the virtual serial port looks like a kiss TNC to anything that attaches. Then I added the remserial to redirect that virtual serial port to another machine. I connected Xastir to another virtual serial port created by remserial. So here's my setup. Box 1 (server box) Soundmodem/AX.25 (setup described in an earlier message) net2kiss - net2kiss -a -i ax0 -s /tmp/net2kisslink & remserial - remserial -d -p 23000 -s "9600 raw" /tmp/net2kisslink & Box 2 (client box) remserial - remserial -d -r 192.168.1.201 -p 23000 -l /dev/remserial1 /dev/ptmx & Xastir - Serial KISS TNC connected to /dev/remserial1 Now if I could just get remserial to compile on cygwin I'd be very happy. -- William McKeehan > On 3/15/07, William McKeehan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> >> Bill, this looks very good!
