Or talk serial KISS over the PTY, and connect the other end of the PTY to a net2kiss instance on a linux box with kernel AX.25 networking. This could be done across a lan using SOCAT to serve the PTY from the linux box to a non-linux box. Icky, but avoids low-level frobbing with serial ports. -- Tom Russo KM5VY SAR502 DM64ux http://www.swcp.com/~russo/ Tijeras, NM QRPL#1592 K2#398 SOC#236 http://kevan.org/brain.cgi?DDTNM In some cultures what I do would be considered normal. -- Ineffective daily affirmation _______________________________________________ Xastir-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xastir.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xastir-dev
