Hi Dave, no I'm just running rspfd, though I have been considering running
routed on this machine and my main machine which are connected by ethernet
partly to enable the "non-radio" machine to get the list of routing
tables dynamically. I can't use rspfd over ethernet, and routed seems
like a viable alternative, and I'm not sure if doing AX25 over ethernet
is really worth the trouble.
