My Xfbb listens for k5di-3 and the DX Cluster listens for k5di-5.
The netrom call is k5di-1. The nodes I made show a proper node listing
except instead of calling, for Xffb k5di-3, it called k5di-1.
That is the problem and I have not figured out how to change this.
I'm sure it's a simple change but I just don't get it. But Ilearned a lot.
I had 4 nrattach calls and made the proper ifconig listings and and it
looked just great on my Linux. But it screwed up on the ajacent nodes.
No-one could reach my system.
