The system is running kernel 2.0.37 with ax.25 compiled in (no modules) and using the ax25-utils-2.0.12. I've managed to get the system running and hearing traffic but when I try to connect using call I get --- [niall@ve7hexgw /tmp]$ call lsp spr GW4PTS AX.25 Connect v1.11 *** Connected to spr Error opening terminal: xterm. [niall@ve7hexgw /tmp]$ ---- the trace of packets going back and forth for this ---- [Thu Jul 8 02:57:34 2004] Port lsp: AX25: VE7SPR-8->ID pid=Text 0000 TheNet Plus 2.08 (SPR). [Thu Jul 8 03:07:03 2004] Port lsp: AX25: VE7HEX->SPR [Thu Jul 8 03:07:05 2004] Port lsp: AX25: SPR->VE7HEX [Thu Jul 8 03:07:05 2004] Port lsp: AX25: VE7HEX->SPR [Thu Jul 8 03:07:06 2004] Port lsp: AX25: SPR->VE7HEX ---- It appears my system is dropping the connection as soon as it gets an acknowledgement. Any ideas what is configured wrong ? The system worked fine when I was using it 4 years ago, though I mainly used it for tcp/ip stuff and didn't do much with ax.25/netrom etc. The error message above is not within the call executable, nor can I find it in the ax25-utils source anywhere. The system is very limited for debugging, no strace/gdb etc (it was stripped down to run in 2 MB RAM) and short of rebuilding another box with the old distribution CDs I no longer have anything this old running. Any ideas appreciated. ... Niall (VE7HEX)
