    Hi,

    After further tests I found what was wrong with my ax25 setup script.
    One must first perform a kissattach, then configure mkiss.

    For example :

    /usr/sbin/kissattach /dev/ptyp0 0 44.151.92.16
    /usr/sbin/kissattach /dev/ptyp1 1 44.151.92.16
    /usr/sbin/mkiss -l -s 38400 /dev/ttyS0 /dev/ttyp0 /dev/ttyp1

    If I configure mkiss first, like I do without problems on my Linux
    2.2.20 machine it is no longer working with 2.4.x kernel or AX25
    applications or libs.

    As there is no message when mkiss is invoked via a script I did not
    notice the error until yesterday.
    When mkiss is configured manually on a command line, there is an error
    message if kissattach
    was not performed first.

    Maybe I was wrong to do it that way (i.e. mkiss before kissattach) in my
    PC with a 2.2.20 kernel, but it worked.

    Now all is working fine, thanks to Tomi for his encouraging answer.
