R: Re: AX25 write up anywhere?

[Luigi - IK5ZUK]

Hi Terry,
nice to see you here, back in the HAM community !

Personally 
I'm using Linux without the AX25 support because the packet users are a 
very limited number and the official HOWTO is now very obsolete.
Here 
I'm using Ubuntu Server, wich is a Debian derived, and it would be nice 
if you can update the AX25 HOWTO to this Linux distro (and also the the 
other modern distros)...
Sadly, when I started my Linux server mainly 
for implementing a DxCluster node with Ubuntu, I had not found info 
about how to setup the AX25 and due to the limited number of users 
interested to connect my node via packet radio, I've decided to leave 
my server accessible only via internet connection... BTW, if you can 
update the HOWTO, I may add the ax25 to my cluster node very happyfully 
!

If you want, we can start a private discussion about...

As stated earlier in this thread, an updated HowTo (despite not only AX25
oriented) is located at 
<http://rose.fpac.free.fr/MINI-HOWTO/#s2>
Just bypass the Mandriva things (or switch "Mandriva" to your distro
name), scroll down and read on.
This week-end I have configurated AX25 on a Xubuntu box using this
document.

Hope that Helps

Hello Claude,
thank you for your advise !!
BTW, I know that Ubuntu comes out with the AX25 precompiled (as default) 
inside the kernel... isn't it ?!?
Did you and some other know something about ??

Yes; the modules are yet present in the default kernel. You can check that
by using modprobe ax25 and then lsmod.
But you may know that it is always better to compile the libs on your own
system. But of course, the default config may work fine on your side
without recompiling the libs from sources.

Luigi,

You didn't mention which dxcluster software you are using, but the  
documentation for DXSpider contains information on setting it up for  
AX25.  This can be found in the wiki at <http://wiki.dxcluster.org/ 
index.php/DXSpider_Installation_Manual>.
