Ah, this of course will work. I think this solution was discussed here
some time ago?
So to recap: ax25ipd does it's routing decisions based on the layer-2
destination address (callsign) of the frame _or_ on the first
not-yet-digipeated digipeater if that exists.
(I'm not sure who I am trying to educate here but maybe there are folks
lurking on the list, so better get the facts straight... :-)
