I've done the BPQ driver. I've done NET/ROM. I've done a basic node. And now I've done gotten myself stuck! :-) I want to use ax25ipd to establish an AXUDP tunnel over the Internet. Unfortunately, all of the documentation I've been able to find so far is either obviously outdated (e.g. from 2000, uses old-style BSD pseudo-TTYs), or otherwise doesn't work (e.g. expects ax25ipd to immediately write data to stdout after launch, as in http://mailman.f6fbb.org/pipermail/xfbb/2012-March/004316.html) Add to that the fact that I'm really green on pseudo-TTYs, kissattach, etc. Here's what I have in axports: sm0 AD7UF 1200 255 2 SignaLink USB bpq0 AD7UF-9 1000000000 255 5 BPQ node for eth1 axudp AD7UF-12 115200 255 5 AX25 over UDP (ax25ipd) and here's what's in ax25ipd.conf: socket udp 10093 mode tnc mycall ad7uf-12 device /dev/ptmx speed 115200 loglevel 4 broadcast QST-0 NODES-0 ANYONE-0 route ke7awr ke7awr.no-ip.org udp 10093 After launching ax25ipd, I see this logged: 14:47:48 ax25ipd: #012Current configuration: 14:47:48 ax25ipd: socket udp on port 10093 14:47:48 ax25ipd: mode tnc 14:47:48 ax25ipd: device /dev/ptmx 14:47:48 ax25ipd: speed 115200 14:47:48 ax25ipd: loglevel 1 14:47:48 ax25ipd: #0121 active routes. 14:47:48 ax25ipd: KE7AWR#01124.21.99.210#011udp#01110093#0110 14:47:48 ax25ipd: #0120 parameters What now? Do I need to use kissattach to attach to the other end of the pseudo-TTY? Which one? Of course, without the missing piece, I get this: axcall axudp ke7awr axconfig: port axudp not active axcall: invalid port setting Any help would be greatly appreciated! PS: I'm running Ubuntu 11.04.
