Rick,
I can't for the life of me imagine why a failing serial link would impact
upon ax25ipd at all. I'd initially thought it might have to do with
ICMP network unreachable messages being returned to the daemon and it
barfing, but I'm not very convinced that that is the case.
What I recommend you do it something like the following:
strace -f /usr/sbin/ax25ipd 2>/tmp/strace.ax25ipd &
sleep 30
killall pppd
call <somebody via an axip link>
<wait for ax25ipd to die>
Send me the /tmp/strace.ax25ipd file and I'll see if I can see
why it died.
regards
Terry
