Hi Kyle:
The Linux distribution of FBB has a daemon. You can run the deamon by
specifying xfbb -d & at the command line. I have been running the
daemon since friday without any problems, but I have tons of questions
that will probably get answered when the manuals/docs are released. For
instance, I do not know how to interface FBB with the Linux netrom
interface or how to provide a telnet-like section to the BBS.
In any event, we finally have a good BBS that uses the native ax.25 in Linux.
The fun is just beginning!
