I am running kernel 2.0.33 with no patches (Slackware 3.3 package) if
that matters.
My problem is this: Somewhere along the line the Baypac group chose to
use non-standard pinouts at the rs232 interface. They use the
Terminal-Ready lead to transmit data rather than the normal Transmit-Data
lead and they bring out the received data on the Clear-To-Send lead rather
than the Receive-Data lead! Since the ax25 programs in linux use the
normal leads the two do not mix. The BP-1 uses the Request-To-Send lead
to key the transmitter but the linux programs apparently do not.
What would it take to make call et al turn on the Request-To-Send lead
when they want to transmit?
Thanks
