    The following is what I do to start bpqether on two boxes here.
    It works fine. One thing I should do is replace vk3bvp-6 with a bogus
    callsign.

    ----Mandrake end---
    # /etc/ax25/axports
    tofbb vk3bvp-6 57600 255 6 link to fbb

    # This is on the end of rc.local
    modprobe bpqether
    /sbin/ifconfig bpq0 192.168.1.6 hw ax25 vk3bvp-6 up
    echo "bpqether started"

    ---Redhat end---
    # /etc/ax25/axports
    ether eth-0 10000000 255 6 ethernet port

    # In the middle of my ax25 startup script
    /sbin/ifconfig bpq0 192.168.1.3 hw ax25 eth-0 up

    ---Unproto seen on Redhat end---
    ether: fm VK3BVP-6 to VK3BVP ctl SABM+
    ether: fm VK3BVP to VK3BVP-6 ctl UA-
