I had the same question initially Kyle, but there is a daemon version
so rest easy. Seems to run ok, just make sure if you have multiple
kernel ax25 interfaces they all run at the same speed, didn't want to
run here till I changed the internal link back to nos to 9k6 like the
real tnc's, unknown error 10 ... (pipes don't really need to be told they
are fast anyway :-) Also had some case changing to do in the
config files (Pathnames), and some .sys files in ./system needed
a tr -d '\015' , but not all of them though ... curious ...

PS X and daemon version are both in the same package ...
PPS be nice if it logged to syslogd :-) Anyone know if feedback is
sought/welcome, and where to send etc ??

I have a stupid question. Why would a BBS program, which presumably runs on a (mostly) unattended machine, require X-windows? It seems rather silly to incur the overhead of running X when there's nobody looking at the screen. I'm sure there's a logical explanation.
Disclaimer: This note was not meant as criticism. I have never operated an FBB-style BBS. I'm looking for something that works through the kernel AX.25 to give my users a more familiar, less Unixy interface, and also traditional packet mail and bulletins. The system is unattended at a remote location, with management performed over an Internet telnet session. I don't have the memory to run X. TNOS would seem to be the logical choice if it didn't duplicate the AX.25 and KISS code that's already in the kernel.
