Hello,
I am currently extending ax25-config to support net/rom. I've never
used net/rom because it is not very common in my area, so i have some
questions:
a) the AX25-HOWTO says:
--- snip --
So, to create an nr0 device with an IP address of 44.136.8.5, an mtu
of 512 and configured with the details from
the /etc/ax25/nrports file for a NetRom port named netrom you would
use:
# /usr/sbin/nrattach -i 44.136.8.5 -m 512 netrom
# route add 44.136.8.5 nr0
or you could use something like the following commands manually:
# /usr/sbin/nrattach netrom
# ifconfig nr0 44.136.8.5 netmask 255.255.255.0 hw netrom
# VK2KTJ-9
# route add 44.136.8.5 nr0
--- snip --
Why do I need a route to the interface ip address? Shouldn't that be
a network route (which is set up automagically with 2.2)
b) Does a normal user station need to have a nrbroadcasts file and
a netromd running or is this for network nodes only? Can I make netrom
connections without running netromd?
(I think it would be rather annoying if 20+ stations at a user qrg
would broadcast every 5 minutes?)
