I HAVE an ip adress (had it since 1994, when i used jnos under dos). (It's
44.145.0.23 if any wonder)..
the route is setup corectly, as far as i can tell :

Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
192.168.0.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 22 eth0
127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 46 lo
44.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 7 ax0

arp table output (arp -a):
? (44.145.0.9) at OZ4KK-2 [ax25] on ax0

ifconfig output:
ax0 Link encap:AMPR AX.25 HWaddr OZ2AFO-14
inet addr:44.145.0.23 Bcast:44.145.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MTU:255 Metric:1
RX packets:5090 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0
TX packets:2216 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0

so as far as i know, the system is setup right?? Or have i missed
something here???
I have also browsed the ax25-howto, but can't seem to find anything
there... But i might have missed something here...
