bcp0 interface start

bcp0 interface start

[John F. Taylor]

Hello All,
  I am trying to use a Baycom BP-9600 modem on a Slackware 11 stock 
installation w/ 2.4.33.3 kernel.
  I cannot discover how to to associate the module with the axports file.
When I type ifconfig I only see the ax0 interfaces.  ifconfig -a shows the 
bcp0-3 interfaces.  Shouldn't these bcp(N) be ax(N) interfaces also?

John, it's been a while since I've configured the BP-9600, so I may be
wrong in my recollection, but I believe that the AX.25 ports aren't
directly linked to the network devices that ifconfig sees.  You use the
axports and other ax.25 config files and ignore the network device
except for TCP/IP routing.

I have some stuff -- now very ancient -- at
http://www.febo.com/packet/linux-ax25/ax25-config.html that explains how
all the pieces fit together.

73,
John
