    Does anyone know if there is a way to set up a FlexNet node with Linux that
    other FlexNet nodes can accept as such? At the moment, flexd only downloads
    the neighbour's destinations from time to time, but nothing significantly
    more happens.
    For example, other FlexNet nodes are unable to poll the Linux machine and ask
    it for its destinations themselves.

    Yes, I know, there are XNet and TNN, but they both rely on KISS TNCs that
    have to be _physically_ there. Neither software emulated KISS devices nor
    Kernel-AX.25 can be used satisfactorily.

    Since we here still need the Kernel-AX.25 (we want to use BayCom and
    SoundModem) it seems that these software packages cannot be used.

    Cheers

    Gerd
