I would like to find information about how to set up the network parameters and start communicating with it. I have downloaded baycomusb-0.10.tar.gz and unpacked. I then did the following to install... cd baycomusb-0.10 ./configure make make install (as root) This produced /usr/local/sbin/baycomusb which I have used to check the proper operation of the modem The modem appears to function correctly according to various tests. I have read the baycomusb man page which says that ax25 and mkiss have to be installed in the kernel. No problem here. I also have baycoimfpga_init.so installed from baycomepp-0.10-1.i386.rpm. What next? How do I set up network info such as IP address? The baycomusb.initscript seems not to need ip address information. I have launched baycomusbserv but as it has no man page I am not sure how to use it. Both baycomusb and baycomusbserv seem to need /etc/ax25/baycomusb.conf but I can see no way to generate it. Moreover is the file bayconusb.conf or baycomusb.xml? There is a line in baycomusb.initscript which (though commented out) wants to do modprobe baycom_usb Is baycom_usb.o an important module? The above configure/make/make install does not produce it as it thinks that nothing has to be done for the kerneldrv subdirectory. . Are there any other drivers needed apart from ax25 and mkiss (and of course the USB drivers)? I have prior exerience in running packet over serial port using mkiss. Thanks for any suggestions Cheers Gerard Borg
