After some follow up to my previous post... I was watching the packets /
data frames on my vhf radio port. One of the users that is getting
disconnected is going through a netrom node. He has his profile setup
to include a 'set/alive' command to keep the node up.

Since I switched to the AX25 kernel code, the set/alive command isn't
sending a data frame out every 10 minuets. I actually watched a the
port for 15 mintues to see if CLX sent anything to the user. Nothing
was sent... so the netrom node that he was connected to sent the
disconnect frame out and of course, he was disconnected.

The ax25 switch in my clx_par file is set as follows:

ax25: none

This problem didn't start until I started to use the AX25 kernel code.
As far as I can tell, the 'set/alive' option doesn't work if you are
using the AX25 kernel code.

Everything else is working great! I got the kernel AXIP link configured
to my host PacketCluster node last night... CLX has been working FB!
