I started fooling around with AX25 about 6 months ago and just finally got it working this weekend. What kept the whole thing from working was some "syntax" errors in the "node.conf" file. Some of the parameter values needed to have some of the letters capitalized ie "ConnTimeout" instead of "conntimeout" and so on. Those errors were present as examples of what working files should look like. Since I am new to Linux AX25 it was impossible to recognize those mistakes in advance. My configuration is still a little screwed up but AX25 and the Linuxnode both are working! I now need to move on to XFBB. I know that this mailing list is not really intended for FBB questions but I am in hopes that you will just "look the other way" and answer my simple question if you can. I want to install the full X-Windows vershion of Linux FBB. The tarball that I have is: x700e_full.tgz The README file gives some simple instructions on how to install it ie: 1) Un-tar it in a specific place. 2) Instructions on how to install it ... "run ./install.sh" and answer the questions. 3) Edit the init.srv and port.sys files .... etc. 4) Then run it with the "./xfbb.sh" command. What I get is that stupid "Unknown return value 127" error. I have been told that XFBB has to be compiled. If so there is no makefile that comes with it, or any instructions on how to compile it. Any suggestions that you might have to point me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. If my questions are stupid, then please excuse me for being stupid. I just need to get beyond this FBB problem and get my stuff online! Regards, Bill KJ6EO
