    I got it working, new 2.4.20 kernel, different PC, all OK. But a couple
    of questions remain.

    (And a side note: On this machine too, /dev/ttyS0 appeared dead. But at
    least it has two, and /dev/ttyS1 is just fine, so that is what I use. Not
    an ax25 problem btw, but odd.)

    Anyway. I did this:

    1. Installed RedHat 8
       Custom install.

    2. updated Redhat using up2date

    3. Recompiled 2.4.20 kernel
       Config ax25 on
       Serial port kiss on
       (SCSI support off (or it would not makedeps))

    4. Installed from tarballs:
       libax25
       ax25tools
       ax25apps
       ...according to AX25-HOWTO

    5. edited two /etc/ax25 files:
       ax25ports
       rc.ax25

       The first has:

       # /etc/ax25/axports
       r1 VA3MVW 9600 255 2 145.59MHz TCP/IP port

       The second one has this, and I call it at the end of rc.local:

       #rc.ax25
       /usr/sbin/kissattach /dev/ttyS1 r1 44.135.90.48

       # direct to myself via loopback:
       /sbin/route add 44.135.90.48 lo

       # Direct to area gateway port.ve3mch:
       /sbin/route add 44.135.85.30 ax0

       # Let all other 44 (ampr) routes go via there:
       /sbin/route add -net 44.0.0.0 gw 44.135.85.30 netmask 255.0.0.0

       # Direct to me at home:
       /sbin/route add 44.135.90.46 ax0

       /usr/sbin/mheardd

    So now I have the following two questions.

    1. I have set up TCP/IP OK, and I can ping/send mail/etc; but
       what about native ax25? Do I need to do anything? How can I check?

    2. My ROUTE table shows TWO routes to 44./class A subnet! My previous ax25
    box did not do this and the route commands ar ethe same. The route
    commands in the rc.ax25 script above give me this:

    [root@jeeves ax25]# route
    Kernel IP routing table
    Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use
    Iface
    port.ve3mch.amp * 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0
    ax0
    va3mvw.ampr.org * 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 lo
    va3oak.ampr.org * 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0
    ax0
    216.138.207.128 * 255.255.255.224 U 0 0 0
    eth0
    127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo
    44.0.0.0 port.ve3mch.amp 255.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0
    ax0
    44.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0
    ax0
    default 216.138.207.129 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0
    eth0

    What is that second 44.0.0.0 doing there?? ANy ideas?

    Cheers
