N3FJP has a great one I use every year.  Can't remember the web site,
but google the call and you'll find it.


Good luck

For linux? All  I saw on his web page was "register now" for 
windows ... err ... stuff.

Re: Field Day logger for Linux?

Sorry about that.  It's windows only.

I'm actually writing a logging program in php.  It's on Sourceforge.
It is a project I took over a little while ago and I've not done
enough work on it yet.  There is a field day looging function, but to
be honest, I'm not sure how good it is.

Maybe I'll have it ready for next year.  It is a php/MySQL app that is
accessed via your browser.

I'd welcome any suggestions about the program.  Here's a link:

6pack ROMS

[Cathryn Mataga]

I'm putting together some packet stuff here.  I have an old 1276 TNC 
that's a 4.9Mhz Z80
TNC2 variant.   Are the ROMS for 6pack on the net somewhere?   I thought I'd
try them in this thing just for kicks, see how it goes.

I am using 6pack on my FPAC Linux switch here, it works quite well, and
if the multi-drop part has been put in the code then you can can use mult-
iple TNC's on a serial port. I have not done that piece yet, but so far mine
appears to work quit well, I did have a TNC which was going out of synch
but it was the TNC that had a issue and not the 6pack stuff.

kissattach/kissnetd versus ptyq ttyq and ptmx/pts

[Cathryn Mataga]

In my original Linux ham radio setup, I had the following...

/sbin/kissnetd -f 1064 /dev/ptyq3 /dev/ptyq4&
sleep 4
/sbin/kissattach -l /dev/ttyq3 lb1 192.168.0.2&
/sbin/kissattach -l /dev/ttyq4 lb2 192.168.0.3&

for creating the loopback device.

Seems that in Fedora 4 ptyq3 and ttyq3 don't exist anymore.  I tried using
MAKENODE ptyq3 and ttyq3 to create these device files, but I don't think 
they're
working?  I get this error.

kissattach: open: No such device or address

I've been googling the pseudo terminals for Linux and it seems that the 
new way is
with ptmx/pts and ptyq3 and ttyq3 are the old style.  But I'm not sure, 
will kissattach
works with these? Or is there a way to get ptyq3 ttyq3 working in Fedora 5?

What's the right way to go about this, these days?

Hmm, well I'm still kind of stuck on this a little bit. 

This is what I'm thinking is the situation, just puzzling at a few files 
here.

1.  I don't see an obvious option to compile the kernel with ptyq/ttyq 
support.
Maybe this is hidden somewhere?  Or maybe this should be working, and I've
missed it?  This would be easiest.  Maybe it's working on FC5 and I've 
confused myself
into thinking it's not, but I don't know.

2.  kissnetd and kissattach aren't that complicated.  But it looks like 
they are designed
to work with ptyq/ttyq style devices, and nothing related to ptmx exists.

3.  I naively thought, well, I'll just put the servers on ptmx and fish 
around on /dev/pts/[0-9]
to see if anything can connect, and this doesn't works. It seems to 
print some kind of messages
but then it gets a read error.

4.  It looks like from the man page ptmx needs a call to grantpt and to 
unlockpt.  it looks
like an open on /dev/ptmx creates a random slave name.  So somehow this 
has to be printed
out, or output to a file. and then use some shell magic to get those 
names to kissattach so it
can connect to them?

5.  This is speculation, but I think kissattach maybe doesn't have to 
change.  But kissnetd does.
There are some ioctl statements in kissattach, and I'm not sure of any 
of these..

6.  Is this the tip of the iceberg?  I use virtual ttys with mkiss 
also.  Maybe that's all I need.
I'm thinking of going in and adding a few lines to kissnetd and see how 
that goes.  Unless
someone who 'knows what's going on' has a better idea.

dev/ptyq3 is missing in your system, but did you look if other couple of 
pseudo tty could be there ?

  ls -la /dev/ptyp*

I am using Mandriva 2006 distro and pseudo ttys are available even with 
2.6 kernels. It appears that they managed to create them from udev (??).

However, last year, knowing that pseudo ttys would become obsolete, I 
performed some trials with /dev/ptmx and you can find the results of my 
tests at the following URL.

http://f6bvp.free.fr/logiciels/Unix98-pseudo-tty/

You will find a script that explains what I intended to do.
I modified mkiss (the source available at that time may have evolve 
since), kissattach and some files of ax25ipd utility.

It worked well, but consider this as alpha code. I did not go further 
because there was no more need here with pseudo tty again present in 
Mandriva distro.

RE: kissattach/kissnetd versus ptyq ttyq and ptmx/pts

[Mike McCarthy, W1NR]

I seem to recall that you need to select this support when the kernel is
built.  You also need to select KISS and AX.25 support as well.  I would try
recompiling the kernel with these enabled.

I just looked on my SuSE 10.1 system (kernel 2.6.16) and the pty devices are
there (SuSE enables most everything in the default kernel as well as mkiss
and ax25) so the kernel must still support it.

What were you using before going to FC4?  I made the switch from RH to SuSE
mainly to avoid having to recompile kernels all the time.  Also I find the
SuSE system management much more robust than Fedora.

Hi, 
I'm running AX25 on a Centos 4.3 system with kernel 2.6.16 and it works
well.

You can enable the pty devices in the kernel config under 
Device Drivers > Character Devices > Legacy (BSD) PTY Support

One oddity I found with the original Centos/Redhat kernel was the extra
serial ports I have installed appeared at high numbers for some reason
(something like /dev/ttyS44 / 45 / 54 / 55)

I used the latest release kernel from kernel.org and this put them back
normal sequence from ttyS0 - ttyS5. It also made the whole system rather
more stable, I think the Redhat kernel is a bit behind with the AX25
updates.

Yeah, this was the problem.  I missed this option I guess.  Thanks for 
the replies
from everyone.  I recompiled and now kissattach is behaving well.   I 
just went in
the kernel and turned on ham radio, oops.  Maybe I'll make some notes on 
my website, how
"Legacy PTY" is needed. 

I guess as long as this Legacy PTY stuff is still around this isn't a 
huge problem.
Am going to now move on to the rest of the setup.
