i a newbie to linux, but now i try to give it a chance :-)
Here's my story:
So i got Suse 5.1 (Nov. 97) with Kernel 2.0.32 and compilied a new kernel with
ax25-support and scc driver 2.4c from dl1bke.
I received the archive z8530drv-2.4c.dl1bke.tar.gz and gpt it up and running.
sccinit for my baycom uscc>4 (old model) on 0x320, irq 5 is done during bootup.
The ax25-utils-2.0.12c.tar are also installed.
After login i type axattach /dev/scc0 P0 ... axattach /dev/scc3 P3,
and i got the msg. AX.25 port P0 bound to device sl0 ... sl3.
My axports-file looks like this:
P0 DB7YAH-2 1200 255 2 <desc.>
P1 DB7YAH-1 1200 255 2 <desc.>
P2 DB7YAH 2400 230 4 <desc.>
P3 DB7YAH-3 9600 230 2 <desc.>
#eth DB7YAH-4 99999999 255 4 planned eth0 link
That's ok without any error. My HF Ports are P0, P1, P2 and P3.
On the other hand i got TNT1.1a1 with the patches to TNT1.1a3. As described i
compiled it for ax25-kernel usage and on startup it logs on with
TNT V1.1alpha3(AX25K,BC) Packet Radio Terminal
In tnt.ini i set ax25k_port P2 (default port P2)
I receive frames on all 4 ports preceeded with P0:, P1:, P2: or P4: - thats ok.
I can connect on the default port with a normal :c db0he , but when i try
to connect with the port extension, for example :c P3:db0fd tnt resonds
with an INVALID PORT message...
If i try to check the port assignment (as mentioned in the ax25krnl.doc of the
tnt archive) with :qrg if got 'empty'. If i try to set the QRG i got an
Error: To change QGRGs, do an update of 'axports'.
On the other hand: if i try a call P3 db0fd on the console i will be
connected. So i think this is a problem of tnt.
The second Problem is: i can't be connected from outside my machine.
So i set up the ax25d.conf file and started the ax25d demon thereafter.
But i'm only able to connect to the node supplied with the ax25-utils, but not
to the tnt-terminal (and later to the dpbox).
# /etc/ax25/ax25d.conf
[DB7YAH VIA *]
#parameters 2 10 * * * * *
NOCALL * * * * * * L
default * * * * * * * root /home/pr/tnt tnt
this an easy one, but i have no access. If i change the cmd to
/usr/bin/node node
in the default line, i am connected to my node, but i can't reach tnt :-(
If you ask why i don't use tfkiss - i want to use all USCC ports to allow the
users to connect on another (ax25) channels or the dpbox.
Any help is welcome. i don't know how to get on.
