Due to the implementation of Netrom in Linux you cannot connect to the
Netrom Call but need to connect to the NODE Call. Ask your forward
partner for the call he put in FBB in the port.sys file. That is the
call for you to use as an ax.25 call. It works best.

I am using k5di-1 as my Netrom Call, k5di-4 as my Node Call and FBB is
using k5di-3.

Is that clear?
