I wonder, for "selective" digipeating, doesn't rxecho solve this
problem ? In its config file you can specify what you want
(etc/ax25/rxecho.conf), if you need to be selective. I used it for a
time to connect JNOS kiss ports to the kernel ax25 support. Now I
use net2kiss, and I find it neater for my purposes, but rxecho did a
good job.
