I had to download a new kernel and patch it up. The files can be found on my server here at YFS but i dont have the fastest ADSL link. You are more than welcome to download them. they can be found at: http://gb7yfs.org.uk/public/linux/new_kernel_bits/ also in that directory is all the ax25 bits i used here. When i was running 2.4.20 i could average around 10 days uptime, since i upgraded it runs and runs and runs till i reboot it. LOL Hope this helps a little Best Regards Ian G6VEY SYSOP GB7YFS Author Xarpm Plus -- Using Linux M2, Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/m2/
