    Folks,

    I am using HFTerm (soundcard PacTOR 1) with F6FBB, HFTerm telnets into
    LinFBB using port 6300, this provides a soundcard PacTOR BBS.

    What I am trying to figure out is:

    How to add NetRom to this config so when a new F6FBB mailbox pops up it is
    added to the routing automagically.

    I assume that I would need to add another port to F6FBB (perhaps AXIP), make
    an ax25 device and set up a gateway from the newly set up port to the telnet
    port. Currently, if I try ifconfig, it only shows the lo interface at
    127.0.0.1, this does seem to carry the packets to and from LinFBB.

    I am pretty new to all this. I have FPAC but still not sure about the
    axports config yet and want to keep the output low (just quick login in
    expert mode).

    It's kinda weird because HFTerm uses /dev/dsp and is not really a device
    itself. Not sure how to set axports if I don't actually have a device to
    attach; Is there a way to set up a virtual device that would share the
    telnet port (6300)? Like I said, I'm pretty new, swimming in documentation,
    trying to wrap my mind around this stuff.

    I also could use help setting up the forwarding but for now NetRom is step
    one.
