Tnos can't share the serial port... I setup a link from Tnos to an ax25
interface and used rxecho to connect Tnos to the radio. Tnos thinks it
has a tnc on the other end.
I think you would need to upgrade your ax25 utilities to do this, but I
do a...
kissattach -m 512 -i 44.2.1.2 /dev/cua0 223
kissattach -m 512 -i 44.2.1.2 /dev/ptyt3 tn223
rxecho.conf looks like...
223 tn223 KO6RI-15
223 tn223 KO6RI-1
223 tn223 KO6RI
223 tn223 SACTO
223 tn223 ID
223 tn223 QST
tn223 223 *
In Tnos I did...
attach say ttyt3 - ax25 223 1024 512 4800
I'm doing this with four radio ports and everything is working fine.
It's all gotten a little complex, but I'm getting by.
