It sounds like the first thing we need is a list of the problems that
need dealing with. Perhaps you could summarise the source files you've
looked at and the number of problems you've found in each one?
=======================================================================
I've just searched SourceForge for AX25 and have found six existing
projects...
1. ax25 Libraries and Utilities - this one does not have any
form of description but appears to be the source of the
ax25-apps, ax25-tools and libax25 packages.
2. LinKT - A packet radio terminal for the Linux ax25 stack
and the KDE.
3. AX25 Mail Utilities - A set of utilities for packet radio
mail exchange with the BBS.
4. ax25 config utility - A utility simplifying the config
of the Linux ax25 subsystem.
5. linbbs - A little packet hamradio BBS for Linux ax25.
6. Linux/SCS PTC-II gateway - A daemon that gateways ROSE
network connections to the PTC-II WA8DED extended host
mode channels to allow PACTOR and AX.25 packet radio
users to gateway into a rose network or onto locally
hosted applications via rose, and for rose users to
gateway out.
...none of which appear to be connected to this. As a result, I would
presume that there's nowhere in SourceForge that we could join rather
than creating a new project.
Best wishes from Riley G7GOD / KB8PPG.
