Help activating AX25 ports

[Elan Portnoy]

I have not been able to activat my ax25 ports.

I installed ax25 utils and rebuilt kernal with required support.

I used KISSATTACH to bind TTYS1 to AX0.

I added my info to axports config file (port name=radio)

I used tried IFCONFIG ax0, it then lists it in IFCONFIG, but....

when I try to acces the ports I get:

"axconfig:port radio not active
no ax25 port data configured"

Am I missing something?

I currently working w/ the 2.2.9 kernel

thanks,
