> Hello Linux Lovers

> My current system:
> Slackware 3.5, kernel 2.0.34 compiled per textbook "Linux Configuration
> & Installation 4th Edition".
> Applied the patch - 2.0.35 to upgrade the kernel to use with ax25-utils
> 2.1.42a and net-tools 1.32-alpha.
> AX25 and serial support was selected before the kernel was compiled
> using menuconfig.
>
> Symptoms:
> 1. Minicom communications program will work through ttyS0 (com 1) when
> connected to an external modem. Connected to BBS without any problem.
>
> 2. Next I connect my KAM tnc in KISS mode to ttyS0. The mkiss command
> appears in /usr/sbin. Tried the command "mkiss -p -c -h -l -s 1200
> /dev/ttyS0 ptyq0"
> No error messages were echoed. Is there anyway to tell if the

> 3. Next command issued " kissattach - i 44.94.248.213 -m 512

> Message echo "kissattach: open: I/O error"

Gary try this example:
if you have a dual port tnc and it is connected to your /dev/ttyS0
serial device at 9600 bps, the following commands like this :
/usr/sbin/mkiss -s 9600 /dev/ttyS0 /dev/ptyq0 /dev/ptyq1
/usr/sbin/kissattach -i 44.94.248.213 /dev/ttyq0 vhf
/usr/sbin/kissattach -i 44.94.248.213 /dev/ttyq1 hf
# /etc/ax25/axports
#
# The format of this file is:
#
# name callsign speed paclen window description
#
vhf yourcall-10 - 256 2 vhf_freq (1200 bps)
hf yourcall-11 - 128 1 hf_freq (300 bps)
I hope this help you
