      I am having a problem with ax.25 working with my pk-232. First off,
    this
    is an original pk-232, no mbx, etc. I have had it for years and really
    got out of packet and ham radio for a number of years.

    Ok, I finally got libax25, tools and apps to build and install, I go to
    /etc/ax25/axports and put in the only line:
    radio WD4NMQ 1200 255 2 kiss port

    I then
    modporbe mkiss
    kissattach /dev/ttyS0 radio 144.135.46.242
    kissparms -p radio -t 100 -s 100 -r 25

    I know, that is not my ip number, but I just put it in as a number...

    Ok, I then execute
    call radio k4vzz

    The radio transmits, k4vzz hears me, but nothing appears to decode, he
    has mcom on to display conect request, etc.

    So, I followed the kiss intructions in the 232 manual.
    AXLEN 8
    PARITY 0
    RESTART
    TRACE OFF
    HID OFF
    BEACON EVERY 0
    PACKET
    CONMODE ON
    PERSIST ON
    RAW ON
    HPOLL OFF
    KISS ON

    now here is a problem, it says to also enter "host on", however kiss on
    takes you out of command mode.
    I also used seyon at 1200 bps to set it up, so it should be in 1200 bps
    for mkiss. The 'sta' and 'con' lights are acting like the manual say
    they should in kiss mode. Am I missing an ax25 setup somewhere??

    Any ideas???
