    Hello all,

    I'm trying to get a YAM modem working with my Linux machine. I believe
    I've got the configuration correct using yamcfg, ifconfig, and the
    /etc/ax25/axports file. I can see inbound packets using the "listen" tool
    from the ax25-utils package, and the RX packets counter is incrementing
    when I look at ifconfig:

    yam0 Link encap:AMPR AX.25 HWaddr W6XE-11
              inet addr:10.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0
              UP RUNNING MTU:256 Metric:1
              RX packets:108 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
              TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
              collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
              RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)
              Interrupt:4 Base address:0x3f8

    However, when I try to transmit packets, using the "beacon" tool, or
    ax25_call, no packets are transmitted. I don't believe this is a hardware
    problem, since I don't see the TX packets counter in ifconfig incrementing,
    and I don't see any outbound packets in the output from "listen". Also,
    I don't see the red TX LED go on on the YAM board.

    Any ideas on why none of the ax25 programs are transmitting packets?

    Thanks,

    Jim, W6XE
