Bjoern, I think you might have hardware problems. Listen to your packet
radio's signal and make sure it's being modulated properly. Listen to a
working signal, and then yours.
With listen working it means the ax25-utils are set up and working
fine. Might look at the performance with "ifconfig". It will tell you if
the transmitted packets are leaving the computer ok.
