3-Net and Linux

Hello !

I am trying to set up a TNC3 running X-Net (3-Net) for use
with SUSE Linux 5.3 , AX25 as well as TCP/IP. After compiling
Kernel and ax25 utils I am now having some problems getting
my setup to behave as Iīd like to ...

-------------------------------------------------------------
Setup :
#######
Com1 = not used
Com2 = TNC3

TNC3 switched to DIP3 (X-NET , 2 Modemports , 1 Serial
KISS to PC 19200Bd so the manual says)
my Nodecall : DH2FBY-11

My /etc/axports file
####################
23cm dh2fby-4 19200 255 7 23cm HF
70cm dh2fby-5 19200 255 5 70cm Lokale Anbindung

My commands (manually for the moment)
#####################################

mkiss -s 19200 /dev/ttyS1 /dev/ptyq0 /dev/ptyq1
kissattach /dev/ttyq0 23cm
kissattach /dev/ttyq1 70cm

------------------------------------------------------------------

Now my problems :

Problem #1:
If I try to connect (eg. call 70cm dl9xxx) the TNC3 does not transmit
If I do "call 70cm dl9xx dh2fby-11" it does . Is this right ?
If it is : how can I choose the HFport ? "call 23cm dl9xxx dh2fby-11" seems
to use the same port as "call 70cm dl9xxx dh2fby-11" .
A "call 23cm dh2fby-11" works : I get my 3-Net node .

Problem #2:
If have a connection with my node (say call 70cm dh2fby-11) , I canīt use
the port for other connections (Address already in use) . Why ?
Isnīt it possible to have more connections over one Kiss-port ?

Problem #3:
Now my ultimate goal is to have a LINUX Box running an Appache Web-Server
and being able to make AX25 connections via the LINUX Box on the same
frequency (using the 3Net-Node) . Is it possible to run TCP/IP over the
same ttyq as well as AX25 at the same time ?
If so , how ?

TIA
