    You can do that, but then no other programs have access to that interface with
    kissnetd and/or mkiss.
    If i am not mistaken what Joop needs is the sample configuration from Hessu
    OH7LZB which used to be included in the old ax25-utils archives.
    ./ax25-utils-2.1.42a/etc/oh7lzb/rc.d/rc.ax25
    It does not use kissnetd but i think Joop will see the possabilitys without me
    explaining more.
