To qualify this patch, the ax25k.c file is from tnt1.9-pre1/src. It also
works in the ax25k.c file from tnt1.8 (stable) but the line numbers may be
slightly different. This patch, BTW, is from a discovery by Ivica
Smolcic, 9a4gc.

In addition, when using TNT with the kernel/ax25 ports, be sure to comment
out the default setting for "@t2 150" in /usr/local/share/tnt/conf/tnt.up
file.
While this parameter may be ok for hostmode or kiss tnc, it is passed
to the ax25 params during TNT startup, (/proc/sys/net/ax25/ax0/t2_timeout)
and results in an ax25 port response time of 15 seconds!
One more thing, it isn't necessary to run the ax25d, unless one just wants
to. A simple kissattach and ifconfig will make one or many ports available
to applications using the kernel/ax25 ports. TNT reads the /etc/axports
file.
