Karl get ftp://bob.midtown.net/linux/ax25_RH.6-0.1.tar.gz It's an
incomplete installation/ configuration package but it has the 42a
utilities that I compiled on Redhat 6.0. Just run tar on it and you will
find the stuff in the ax25_RH.6-0.1/sbin and ax25_RH.6-0.1/bin
directories. If you feel brave, run install.sh. It will move your
/etc/ax25 directory to /etc/ax25.old and create a new directory setting up
ax25d, axspawn, node, pms, ax25ipd, netrom, beacon and it will bring up
axip and loopback interfaces. It puts the binaries in /usr/local/sbin and
/usr/local/bin. If you have a single port TNC then you can copy
ifcfg/ifcfg-ax3.singel_port to /etc/ax25 as ifcfg-ax3 . Edit the
SERIAL_PORT variable on the first line and run ax25-up. The script
'ax25-up' brings down all the ax25 stuff and restarts it. If you have two
single port TNCs do the same thing for it but change the name of the file
to ifcfg-ax4 and so on. You start netrom and/or beacon on an interface by
editing the ifcfg-axX file.
There's an example of a dual port TNC there too, but I don't have a baycom
or sound card modem so I don't know how to set those up.
