Hi

I found that the baycom driver doesn't want to decode frames of 512. So I set my mtu to 256 and it worked fine. (maybe someone
knows how to get the driver working with 512 frames ??)

Oh well..

but now I set up tnos with an internal slip ( tty ifc probs still not solved) and now I see that I have the same problem. No 51
2. So I thought to change the mss /mtu/window to 256.. But when I watch the listen on those ports i see that I transmit a mss o
f 512.. Still..
Is this normal for a routed frame ?
should I look for the problem at the tnos program ?

though I think lower routers should be able to lower the mss to their capabilities no ?
