>From my side, it's a very loose guess. Since I didn't have this problem with
older kernels 2.0.x and the old AX25 utils but I do now with new kernel and old
AX25 utils, I found it quite natural to assume that it was related with
incompatible AX25 utils. The old ones don't compile on a 2.2.x kernel (at least
not the last time I tried) and neither did the new AX25 libs. I know that newer
versions have been released that do compile on a RedHat system (the reason why
they didn't compile earlier, weas RedHat related).
I apolagize for adding to this thread (It seems that it has been discussed
erlyer according to Richard Adams) but sometimes I dont have the time to check
my mail everyday and it gets a lot to read in a while.
Anyway, because I'm the only user on my machine and it's no server or anything
other critical, I don't really bother with it. I practically don't use another
OS than Linux an my machine is up 24h/day. The last time I rebooted my machine
(2 days ago) due to my own lack of knowledge with X (didn't work the way I
believe it should after I upgraded to KDE 1.1.2) I finally decided to do a
WIN95 (reboot) I had an uptime of about 70 days.
