ax25 BPQ look

Hello guys,
I spent all day today trying to set up my ax25 systen like paper I
got from the web site that just got their Gateway working. It looked real
good to me and I modified my ac25d.conf and nrports and startup bash file
as the W8APR group suggested.

When I rebooted it was wonderful. I have the old netrom called
#cruce and the new alias's lcbbs:k5di-3 and lcdx:k5di-5 and cruces:k5di-4
nodes everywhere. #cruce:k5di-1 is the actual netrom that you never want
to call. LCBBS:k5di-3 is a XFBB packet bbs, lcdx:k5di-5 is a DX-Cluster
and cruces:k5di-4 is the node.

But when I connected to my distant node and called lcbbs it
returned "lcbbs:k5di-3 Busy". When I did a node lcbbs it said the route to
lcbbs:k5di-3 was to k5di-1!!!!

I did the usual ifconfig nr0 through 3 and they were perfect. Now
I see there is still something wrong with the old setup I just put back.
So need to see what that is.

With out question ax25-util setup is the pits. It is so easy to
make a single tiny error and the whole thing goes bonkers!

Best wishes
