Hello,
I'm starting to settle into the maintaining role for the ax25-utils
now. I think I've made a billion mistakes, including accidentally
deleting three hours work last night (!), but I have some new releases
for you.

The following files should appear at both:

ftp://ftp.cs.nott.ac.uk/jsn/
ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/apps/ham

filenames:

ax25-utils-2.0.12b.tar.gz 2.0.12 kernels or better.
ax25-utils-2.1.9c.tar.gz 2.1.9 kernels or better.

The most significant changes are:

Correcting my oversight with the clash of the call bits field and
connected callsign, oops.

Addition of Heikki's color patches for listen, these seem to work
quite well (listen -c). Please let me know if you experience any
problems with this.

Addition of some new utilities from Jonathon which allow you
make AX.25, Netrom and for 2.1.9* Rose calls from within
ax25d, or the node program. The man pages aren't very complete
yet, but Jonathons README file is there to guide you until I
carry the information across.

I've also cleaned up the patch I previously posted to provide Rose
support
for the net-tools-1.32-alpha package. I've fixed netstat which I hadn't
done
properly before.

The patch for it is called:

net-tools-1.32-alpha.rose.patch.gz

regards
Terry
