The way I set it up was to start minicom, hit "ctrl-A" then 'o' to get
to the setup screen. Then I told it what serial ports to use and
databits parity etc. If it's not "detecting" a serial port, you might
not have a /dev/ttyS1(should be com2 I think). If you don't have that,
make sure you had serial support checked last time you compiled your
kernel.
The ax-25 howto is great, but I'm having problems completing some of the
instructions...
no problem with the howto, but my system.
I'm running 2.1.131 with most of the options checked.
I downloaded and untarred the ax25-utils-2.1.42.
And did make to configure, included all the options.
Then did make again. The error file is below
