Thanks, you are right. But there is another little problem. I have ports
named ax0 ax1 ... and when user coming up on ax0 type C AX0 XX1XXX,
SSID of downlink connection is not inverted. The problem is port name typed
in UPPERCASE. Possibly the function strcmp in gateway.c, connect_to, case
AF_AX25 isn't the best choice. Maybe strncmp...?
