    Hi Tomi,

    Thanks for the info on callsign useage and the netrom 'oddities'.

    I must admit that I'm not that well up on the details of netrom
    encapsulation.

    My only thought re. the problem you mention with the SABM frame not
    having a protocol ID is that surely this applies equally to IP via ax25
    etc.?

    Is there no mechanism here that can be duplicated for Netrom?
    (And apologies in advance if I'm talking total rubbish :)

    Ps. One mod to the utils which I'm in the process of implementing
    myself, if it is of interest to anyone else:

    An addition to mheardd / mheard, in combination with the 'distance.c'
    code from DigiNed by Henk, PE1DNN, to give distance & bearing to any
    station with recognisable location info in it's beacon.

    This is a feature I saw in a demo of the Dos PZT Node software by Paula,
    G8PZT. I thought it was a rather neat idea & worth adding to the Linux
    utils.

    Regards,

    Robert Jenkins, G8TBF.
