    Dear Linux-Hams Mailing List:

    First of all I would like to thank you for your excellent advice regarding my AX25
    NET/ROM configuration issues. Most of my problems are caused by my lack of
    experience with Linux. Hopefully some day when I am old and gray I will be
    answering linux questions instead of asking them (>:

    I have basicially got everything running now but I have screwed up the NET/ROM
    configuration somewhere and the node is not working properly. For my particular
    setup I do not need AXIP or ROSE. Once that I can get one port (ax0) working
    correctly I should be able to configure the other 5 ports.

    I can make "call" requests on "ax0" that seems to work fine. However, when I
    try to connect to SCV:KJ6EO-7 I get connected then get immediately disconnected.
    Also the node ignores its alias "SCV".

    I humbly request that someone take a look at my configuration files and correct the
    mistakes that I have made. It might be enough if someone would supply me with
    copies of their files that correspond to mine. Once I get the NET/ROM issues
    straightened out I can go on to my next BIG HEADACHE which is XFBB. I can't
    get it to run...I get the "Unknown Return Value 127" error (whatever that means).
    Again that error is probably due to some mistake I have made somewhere.

    The following files are attached:

    axports, nrports, nrbroadcast, output (from ifconfig), ax25d.conf, node.conf,
    node.perms.

    Your help and advice are always appreciated!

    Regards,

    Bill KJ6EO
