    Hi,

    I hope that this is the right group to help.... if not please accept my
    apologies.

    For the last few weeks(!) I have been trying to get a packet station on my
    Linux box at home.

    Initially I want a simple setup, TCP/IP outbound connection to a local
    gateway.

    I am using a Tiny 2 TNC on ttyS0 at 19200 baud.

    The hardware works OK using minicom and the TINY2 in "normal" mode.

    I presume that the TNC should be in KISS mode for use with Linux

    I am using SuSE 7.0, ax25-config etc. and everything seems OK, ax25-up is in
    /etc/ax25 and loads with no errors.

    When trying to connect to a local ax25 BBS using linkt or tnt - absolutely
    nothing happens. the PTT does not get raised, linkt simply times out.

    TNT reports
    "can't connect to interface"
    "cant connect to program will try later".

    I guess that somewhere I have made a fundamental error in setting up or
    missed a trick somewhere.

    Before I go totally mad can someone give me a clue what I need to do.

    Thanks

    Martyn
