The following are extracts from syslog.

Previously the echo was uni-directional towards port kiss.

In the previous week's syslog (now deleted) their was reference to fd78. Otherwise the information was as shown above for the ax1 error. System in use.

Does it do this or does it simply report the version that came with the package, even if a later version was obtained and packages updated? The .deb versions I obtained had their names truncated to 8.3 by my Windows system, so the filenames reported are meaningless. # /etc/ax25/rxecho.conf # # This means that packets received on port '1' are copied to port '2' if they # are destined to oh2bns-1 or oh2bns-2.
