Read my previous posting about this. I was replying to someone who had
problems with XFBB ignoring certain callsigns. This is an old problem with
the AX.25 and NET/ROM implementation in 2.0.x kernels. There is no known
fix to this AFAIK. It seems to be fixed in 2.1.x kernels.

It may be a timing problem in the kernel somewhere and a fast machine
might hide the problem.
