Then it sounds like a flexnet problem, of which i cant help, all i can do is
outline what you need in the linux box, please see the comments below.

I answered your last plee for help, as did a few others, all i can comment
on is the linux side, my setup is 2 linux boxes both running bpqether, the
rc.ax25 file inclided below also shows howto configure netrom to run via
bpq, however the netrom stuff is commented out as i have no use for it at
the minute. I am sure you will see howto configure a linux box to run
BPQether from it, therfor eliminating the doubt about which box needs to be
configured properly.
#!/bin/sh

BDIR="/usr/bin"

# ${UDIR}/mheardd -l -f -n25 &
# sleep 1
echo "*** AX25D The brain. ***"
echo
# -l = log connects to the syslog, 'man ax25d' for more details.
${UDIR}/ax25d -l &
# ${UDIR}/netdate gw.pe1cig.ampr.org
The entry for the callsign + ssid mentioned above is defined in
/etc/ax25d.conf and looks like;
[PA3GCU-11 VIA BPQ0]
default * * * * * * - root /usr/sbin/node node bpq0 %u
#
A thing to note;
BPQ="00:00:C0:52:F8:60" is the MAC address of the remote host.
By using ax25d -l you can get error messages in your log which will 'help'
you debug whats going on, or at least get some information, anyway you make
no mention of any logs, have you looked in /var/log/* for details ??
As i said before the above concerns two linux boxes connected via bpqether,
i dont see why it cant communicate with any other bpq orientated server, if
that server is configured properly.
