Dear Manos, Following is a my script file to start ax25: /usr/bin/startax25 This is the basic script to start the AX25 operation. No NET/ROM, ROSE and routes are configured here. #!/bin/sh #Get rid of any locks cd /var/lock rm -f LCK* #Set TNC in KISS mode echo "Starting KISS" echo -ne "kiss on\r" > /dev/ttyS1 echo -ne "restart\r" > /dev/ttyS1 # three seconds delay before restart of ax.25 sleep 3 #Configure TCP/IP. Are the /etc/ax25/axports set up correctly? #Note the new command line format #kissattach [-l] [-m mtu] [-v] ttyinterface port inetaddr /usr/sbin/kissattach -m 230 /dev/ttyS1 1 194.229.49.136 #Configure KISS TNC /usr/sbin/kissparms -p 1 -t 100 -s 100 -r 63 # Configure and start the beacon /usr/sbin/beacon -c PA3BTL -t 25 1 "PA3BTL uit Purmerend, LINUX SuSE 6.2" # start the ax25 daemon /usr/sbin/ax25d #Associate a call with a username axparms -assoc pa3btl henka #Start the mheard daemon /usr/sbin/mheardd -f -l # end of startax25 Henk van Asselt Senior System Support Engineer tel: +31-(0)346-217063 fax: +31-(0)346-217075 Mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Personal Web Page: http://www.qsl.net/pa3btl > ---------- > From: Manos Chalaris (SV1DAY)[SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Reply To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Friday, April 07, 2000 6:36 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: How to Enable/Disable KISS mode in a TNC-2 with Linux? > > Hello everybody, > > I am wondering whether there is a "nice" way to enable/ disable KISS mode > on > a TNC-2 with Linux. > (I am using an MFJ 1270C, but I think the same is for all the TNC-2 type > TNCs...) > > In various HOWTO, it is written that you can do it with the minicom. > Yes, this is true but I do not like it at all. > > I have tried to send to my /dev/tnc ( which is a soft link to /dev/ttyS1 > in > my case) the commands KISS ON and RESTART but no luck. > The method I used to do it was: > > TO ENABLE > 1. setserial /dev/ttyS1 baud_base 9600 (because my TNC has as serial port > speed 9600, so I must change the default speed of PC serial port) > 2. echo "KISS ON" > /dev/tnc > 3. echo "RESTART" > /dev/tnc > So, I did not see any STA and CON led flashing.
