Well - found that by compairing two different installations here, RH
and Mandrake, RH had them enabled and Mandrake they were disabled. Can't
remember changing them on Mandrake, but i'll check that at work.
I did try talk but it told me to go away with error no 111, so that was a
big hint.
Kind of assumed that systems were the same, especially as they were ment
to come from the same root.. Won't do that again ( until next time :-) )
Thanks for reply and a Happy Xmas and a really good new year, Century,
etc...
Thanks for the the ax25 tools.
