    As noted earlier, I am new to linux, but I would
    assume that the trouble is just as you said, the
    parent PID is being written. The PID written is -1
    of what it should be.
    I don't have loads of time, but I would be interested
    in helping out with the ax25 packages. When I think
    I've got something worth telling people about, is the
    standard protocol just to post it here or is there
    something else I shold know about?
