Did you try a 2.6 kernel also? The 2.4 mkiss driver usually works just
fine but it's a fairly suspect piece of code anyway, so I've turned the
KISS driver upside down for Linux 2.6.
A no-no at the current state of the code are SMP or preemptible kernels.

Hi Stef,
You haven't really told us much, some configs would be nice, especially
your ax25 start-up file, axports, and port.sys for starters.
Does the problem occur using the call function or does it happen from
the bbs? You don't say if you're trying to use the bbs yet, only that
you want to get one running, and you don't say what the bbs is (or will
be). It's not safe to assume fbb.
Did you really try different O\S's, or was it just different Linux
distributions?
Although I'm using kernel 2.6.18-3 on the system here, I do have another
installation on a P166 with kernel 2.4.31 (from memory), and they both
work ok.
Both machines run Debian 3.1 (Sarge)

Are you sure that your TNCs are set in KISS mode before using mkiss
driver for AX25 ?
You must put them into KISS mode manually while no mkiss driver is
loaded and using a terminal program
such as MINICOM.
I used minicom to adjust my KPC9612 dual port TNC serial baud rate and
calibrate the modulation
level of 1200 and 9600 baud radio ports.
