It is all = in user=20 space. You can see the soundmodem as an KISS-TNC, but with all in Softw= are.=20 Using an pipe, (pty/tty pair) you should be able to use it without the = kernel=20 ax25 support! So, Xastir <--> soundmodem should NOT need an running k-ax25 73, Luc On Tuesday 08 March 2005 21:07, Richard Adams wrote: > On Tuesday 08 March 2005 19:20, Jeff Camp wrote: > > Ron, I had the same problem with FC3 and soundmodem.
