Hi again Joerg. I have read what you have written to me. I choose also
to reply
to it via the linux-ham site, and I do not home it 'under' basic level
the
comments I come with. If so, we can discuss it directly :-)
I'll tell you that I'm a newcommer in linux, but have used scc since
many years
under DOS. What you write here has means that I do not take care of the
older doc ??.(basicly because I just fix obvious errors and bigger
changes in the driver).
I have built in the driver into the kernel, but I can easy change that.

There is non ative SCC devices, or better to say physichal the SCC board
is installed,
but I have not the rc.ax25, and this means that I have not the SCC
active.

When to do that ?. First I think I shall deactivate scc from the kernel,
and after install it as a module ??.

To see IF scc is active ??.

Its located in the latter.

As before ?.

Nothing happens here, but think its because I lack the rc.ax25 file ?.

'on the other hand neither the addresses of the Z8530 chips nor the
MODEM wiring can
change without a power cycle -- allowing'
Well think I understand, but please tell me it what YOU mean.
What is procfs ??.

Hope not too boring what I have written. Sometimes I think people think
so. If so
a linux-miniminiham would be the right place HI.
