If so, what versions of the packages are you using with the 2.4.18 kernel? Are you finding any stability problems at all? What I am doing is setting up a new Linux computer to be used with XFBB and JNOS, and I am currently setting up base Linux ax.25 support in the OS. The problem I am having is that the computer "locks up" solid when running any web browser in KDE (3.0), only once I have a KISS serial port attached to a TNC. If I do not perform the "kissattach" command, then all is well. Once the kissattach command has been executed, I then start up X-Window (startx) and then start-up a web browser, and it will freeze the machine in about a minute. Details: PC: Duron 1.3GHz CPU, 512M Ram OS: Slackware 8.1 Linux kernel: 2.4.18 (also tried 2.4.20) AX25: libax25-0.0.10.tag.gz ax25-tools-0.0.8.tar.gz ax25-apps-0.0.6.tar.gz COM Ports: COM1, COM2, and one serial port residing on a USB to serial converter cable Can anybody recommend what version of the Linux kernel should be used with the Linux ax.25 support to get a stable operation? Thank-you for your help Lane, ve7ihl
