The problem is, like with all great little tools, one improvement on the system like this and an obsessive individual, like me , want's more more more... Time now to take the next step and hook our "community packet servers" up to the local DXCluster box using the same AX25 connect and launch scheme. Is anybody already doing this? I think the axconv.c program might work directly or with a little tweaking. Also I saw once, but can't find now, instructions on how to launch a telnet connection from ax25d.conf. It would be much appreciated if somebody could point me at that info. Any other hints and suggestions would also be appreciated. 73, Bill - WA7NWP (making lots of packets...)
