    Right now, Debian linux, from the woody netinst CD.

    Linux aresdb 2.2.20 #1 Sat Apr 20 11:45:28 EST 2002 i686 unknown

    I've also tried 2.4.18 and a few newer kernels

    (for now, I tried getting only one port working again)

    # /etc/ax25/axports
    #
    # The format of this file is:
    #
    # name callsign speed paclen window description
    #
    p1 KB0UPW-1 1200 255 2 145.670 MHz
    (1200
    bps)

    The following (somewhat lazy) script is being used to start
    kissattach:

    #! /bin/sh

    case "$1" in
      start)

    echo Starting Custom Ham Radio processes...
    echo
    echo Attaching port p1 at 9600 KISS / 10.10.48.1

    kissattach -l /dev/ttyS0 p1 10.10.48.1 &
    echo Attaching port p2 at 9600 KISS / 10.10.49.1
    echo $(grep ^p2 /etc/ax25/axports)
    kissattach -l /dev/ttyS1 p2 10.10.49.1 &

    Another poster mentioned the ABAUD setting matching the PC, and
    now I'm beginning to wonder if I just have a port speed mismatch
    here. I'll have to check that out tonight when I get a chance.

    I was so concentrated on the TNC side of the speed equation, and
    "knowing" the port was right because Minicom worked, I think I
    missed the obvious ax25 port speed setting... I guess that is
    what you get for continuing to work on something when you're
    frusterated.

    Thanks for all of the help. If that isn't it, I'll try and dig
    up some more debugging info.
