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)
