Thanks for letting us know about that little feature !

I've been and looked at your node-0.3.0 - I notice that your kernel_ax25.h
file includes digi_count in ax25_ctl_struct. Incidentally, I got this one
to compile under Slackware 3.6 by commenting out line 23 in kernel_ax25.h
#include <bits/sockaddr.h>
Nothing complained !

That's a lot more hygenic, but I'm getting to like the way that the ax25
stuff is stashing itself away within the /usr/local tree and will very
probably go with that.
You will probably have a smile on your face, but as you may know, Slackware
is a pig to upgrade, and new releases are best installed from scratch.
A bulk copy of /usr/local from old to new release saves a lot of time !

It does. And thank you for taking the trouble to reply. I was wondering
whether I ought to go to Redhat in order to keep up with you guys, and it
is a relief that maybe I don't have to just yet ;-)
