Hello Barry,
You haven't told us what version of ax25-utils you are running, nor
kernel, nor whether you are trying to connect to the alias or the
callsign, but I can suggest something for you to do:
1> Connect to the node.
2> Log on to the linux machine as root and run 'ps -aux | grep node'
Take note of the PID (process id) of the node program listed.
3> From your root login run the command:
strace -p <pid> 2>&1 | tee node.strace
4> from your node login, attempt a connection in the way that you
had been.
5> back from your root login again hit ^c to stop the 'strace'
and send me/us the file that was created called 'node.strace'
The 'strace' program traces systems calls, its a little like the
linux system equivalent of listen. It will show what arguments
have been passed to the bind() system call so we can see what
might be happening.

Terry
