Redhat 7.2 + kernel 2.4.19

Redhat 7.2 + kernel 2.4.19

[Shane Deering]

Hello people.
I have been using a 2.2 kernel (nice and stable) for packet on my RH7.2 box.
I'm using RH7.2 as it seems to be the newest version that runs OK with the FBB 
RPM.
I want to put my internet connection on that box and would like a newer kernel 
(iptables).
I can see 2 ways that I could go here. Either get a 2.4.19(20) kernel to 
compile on the Redhat box or get fbb (GUI client) to compile with a newer 
distro (MDK9.0 would be nice).

I haven't been able to get anywhere with either option above.
Has anyone been able to do either or have a better idea?

Speed on TCP/IP

[Marco Di Martino]

Hi!
I've noticed that my ham-linux server is very slow in TCP/IP over ax.25.
So I've tried to configure better the ax.25 parameter following the HOW-TO.
Now the speed is quite better....but itsn't the optimum....
These below are my parameters. So can you say me if they are correct and
right ?

        echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ax25/ax0/backoff_type
        echo "0" > /proc/sys/net/ax25/ax0/ip_default_mode
        echo "6" > /proc/sys/net/ax25/ax0/standard_window_size
        echo "20" > /proc/sys/net/ax25/ax0/maximum_retry_count
        echo "330" > /proc/sys/net/ax25/ax0/maximum_packet_length
        echo -n 1 > /proc/sys/net/ax25/ax0/t1_timeout
        echo -n 2 > /proc/sys/net/ax25/ax0/t2_timeout
        echo -n 7 > /proc/sys/net/ax25/ax0/t3_timeout
        echo -n 0 > /proc/sys/net/ax25/ax0/idle_timeout
        echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ax25/ax0/connect_mode
        echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/ax0/accept_redirects
        echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/ax0/accept_source_route
        echo "0" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/ax0/log_martians

Work conditions: 9600 baud with a good link...

Thanks,
Marco

Oooops.....
But times for this T1 - T2 - T3 are expressed in sec. or msec ?
I think in msec because by default T1 is 1000....
....
Thanks again

After some helpfull advice from Stewart Wilkinson I got further with compiling 
FBB on my MDK9.0 box. I can do a make ok in fbbsrc.704h/src.
But not in fbbsrc.704h/src/X11

Here's the last few lines when trying make -

-L/usr/X11R6/LessTif/Motif2.0/lib -lXm -lXt -lXpm -lXext -lX11
/usr/lib/libXpm.so: undefined reference to `_fxstat'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [xfbb] Error 1

I could do with a bit of a nudge (or severe beating with a book of man pages) 
here.
All/any help welcome.
