My systems are all RedHat, a mixture of 5.2 and 6.0 raw installs, so I'll have a play with it on them and report. > Everybody else can find the source tar file at: > ftp://tao.linux.org.au/pub/radio/dgipip/ > ftp://guglielmo.vk2ktj.ampr.org/pub/radio/dgipip/ I've set up a mirror for you, so you can add the following: ftp://ftp.memalpha.cx/mirrors/HamRadio/Linux/dgipip/ Despite the Christmas Island domain, that's half the way round the world from you... > It will compile against glibc2.x, it might work with older libc > with a little tweaking. > It's fairly ugly, it was a rushed job (I still don't have enough > time!) but you can improve it if you want.
