But... You can still do an APRS igate without having AX.25 in the kernel. Xastir can do it via a Serial TNC or a Serial KISS TNC interface. Where the AX.25 interface comes in really handy is when you want to connect multiple pieces of software to the same TNC, or of course when you want to do TCP/IP networking or some other networking protocol over RF. -- Curt, WE7U. archer at eskimo dot com http://www.eskimo.com/~archer Lotto: A tax on people who are bad at math. - unknown Windows: Microsoft's tax on computer illiterates. - WE7U.
