    I recently built and installed the 2.4.9 kernel (with the correction from
    dl9sau) and the latest ax25 packages that are used on the local node. The
    only snag encountered was when I attempted to start axdigi. It got real
    angry and refused to load because some sort of shared library was not
    present. Since I have had no problems with any of the previous kernels I
    have used, I rebuilt axdigi (btw, does require fixing header file includes).
    Although I have not had an opportunity to test it on the air yet, it starts
    and appears to run in the background as it should.

    In the process of doing this, I read Craig's comments, in which he thought
    the digi function would eventually be built into the kernel. Have briefly
    looked over the kernel docs, but the only reference to ax25 points to this
    group. Has the digi function been incorporated into the kernel, or must
    axdigi still be used to get the function? My impression is that it's not
    there...

    If you are wondering why anyone would want to digipeat, I want to tunnel
    APRS through the backbone of our network. If any of you have had experience
    doing this, I would be interested in your comments.
