Re: Question, was; [ANNOUNCE] new-AX.25 for 2.2.14 Rel. 5

Hi, John:

I thought Naylor & Manninen said that it is 'dirty' code to allow
L3 & L2 connect requests to the same CALLSIGN-SSID.
I thought this couldn't be done in linux.

Thanks a bunch.  I'll give linux another look see.

It seems that there is a lot of configuration to be done
and a lot of useless CALLSIGN-SSID assignments.

The paragraph below is what I thought could not be done:
Have the node ALIAS:CALLSIGN-SSID respond to an AX.25 connect.
