How does xastir deal with a dual port TNC such as the KPC4? Incoming packets are ID'ed by port number (ie 0 or 1). When they are digipeated are they digipeated out on same port they were heard on, or is the port ID stripped and port 0 substituted? Can ports be "bridged"?
The multi-port TNC interface in Xastir was never finished. The best you can do is identify which port you wish to use and Xastir then uses that one port and I believe ignores the others, or it might transmit out that one port but receive on all. I can't recall so would have to look at the code to see how it handles that case. Investigate whether the AX.25 kernel networking configuration can handle multi-port TNC's, then for Xastir you'd end up with separate AX.25 ports for each TNC port. As far as bridging between them, investigate whether Digi_NED can do this for AX.25 kernel networking ports. It might be able to. There are also aprsr? and aprsd to check out. -- Curt, WE7U. archer at eskimo dot com http://www.eskimo.com/~archer Lotto: A tax on people who are bad at math. - unknown Windows: Microsoft's tax on computer illiterates. - WE7U.
