Configuring AX25 NET/ROM!

Dear Linux-Hams Mailing List:

First of all I would like to thank you for your excellent advice regarding my AX25
NET/ROM configuration issues.  Most of my problems are caused by my lack of
experience with Linux.  Hopefully some day when I am old and gray I will be
answering linux questions instead of asking them (>:

I have basicially got everything running now but I have screwed up the NET/ROM
configuration somewhere and the node is not working properly.  For my particular
setup I do not need AXIP or ROSE.  Once that I can get one port (ax0) working
correctly I should be able to configure the other 5 ports.

I can make "call" requests on "ax0" that seems to work fine.  However, when I
try to connect to SCV:KJ6EO-7 I get connected then get immediately disconnected.
Also the node ignores its alias "SCV".

I humbly request that someone take a look at my configuration files and correct the
mistakes that I have made.  It might be enough if someone would supply me with
copies of their files that correspond to mine.  Once I get the NET/ROM issues
straightened out I can go on to my next BIG HEADACHE which is XFBB.  I can't
get it to run...I get the "Unknown Return Value 127" error (whatever that means).
Again that error is probably due to some mistake I have made somewhere.

The following files are attached:

axports, nrports, nrbroadcast, output (from ifconfig), ax25d.conf, node.conf,
node.perms.

Your help and advice are always appreciated!

Regards,

Bill KJ6EO
