Hello all,

I have trouble setting setting my linux box working with ax25. I am using 
a Motorola tranceiver connected to a modem (1200bps) connected to
/dev/ttyS1. I have completed the /etc/ax25/axports file with :

>
# name  callsign       speed   paclen window    description
#
radio   YO8RGB-9         1200   250     4       1200bps
>

and added the following to /etc/rc.d/rc.local (I forgot to tell that I am
running RH-61 on this machine) for boot-time startup:

>
/usr/sbin/kissattach -l /dev/ttyS1 radio
/usr/sbin/kissparms -p radio -f n -l 20 -r 50 -t 10
/usr/sbin/mheardd -l
/usr/sbin/beacon -l -t 1 radio "test"
<

After issueing /usr/sbin/kissattach .... I get:

>
AX.25 port radio bound to device ax0
axconfig: port radio not active
kissparms: no AX.25 ports configured
mheardd: no AX.25 port data configured
beacon: no AX.25 ports defined
<

Hope is OK, but ......
the tranceiver switch to Tx mode and locks-up; I have to issue .... to get
it into Rx mode. I can't explain why is this happening, maybe somebody can
give me some advices... 

Thank you all!
Eduard. 
 
ps. when issueing "ifconfig ax0" I get:

>
ax0       Link encap:AMPR AX.25  HWaddr YO8RGB-9
          UP RUNNING  MTU:250  Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:10

 and my /etc/conf.modules looks like:

>
