That's not encouraging. Is it really that bad?
Asking becuase TCP/IP over ax.25 is the one thing that can rescue packet,
I think. For instance, the fact I can get my provate email in and out when
ADSL and cable are down is a real benefit. The fact I can driva all around
town and pick up mail with a radio connection, free of charge, is also
very beneficial. I can have nmy servers send mail via radio with problem
reports when prob;lems occur. Emergency use. The list of useful 1200 bps
applications goes on!
But that asusmes the protocol is solid. My 2.0 kernel running old ax.25
stuff has been up 4 years now without dropping a packet. Are we saying
nowadays it's worse? Should I can my 2.4.20 kernel with ax.25?
Sorry for dropping in in the middle!
