Hi again Dieter, I tried a direct email reply again, but the third time was not charmed, it again bounced back to me after 25 tries! I will take a look at my Apache James email server log files to see if I can discover any thing going on. If it is OK with you, I will conduct a few tests so you might get some test emails from me, just discard them. I have downloaded the kernel rpm files from the link you sent me. I am unable to tackle this project today, too many house projects to get done but will try tomorrow if I can.. I did manage to use Carlos's instructions to uninstall the kernel changes that we made to our systems, so now I am back to a stock 15.1 system with whatever upgrades that have been made. I did run the rpm query you ask me to, about kernel packages installed on my system. Here are the results -
darkstar:/home/marc/kernel # rpm -qa | grep "^kernel" kernel-syms-4.12.14-lp151.28.48.1.x86_64 kernel-default-4.12.14-lp151.28.48.1.x86_64 kernel-firmware-20200107-lp151.2.12.1.noarch kernel-macros-4.12.14-lp151.28.48.1.noarch kernel-default-devel-4.12.14-lp151.28.48.1.x86_64 kernel-devel-4.12.14-lp151.28.48.1.noarch kernel-source-4.12.14-lp151.28.48.1.noarch
Thanks all so much! Marc...

Hello Marc, so here comes the "howto":
1.) open a console and become superuser. Change to the directory where the downloaded kernel-*.rpm's from the download are. 2.) check which kernels are installed: rpm -qa | grep "^kernel" The result should look similar to this:
djunix:/home/src/kernel/Hamradio-addon # rpm -qa | grep "^kernel" kernel-default-4.12.14-lp151.28.48.1.x86_64 kernel-firmware-20200107-lp151.2.12.1.noarch kernel-default-4.12.14-lp151.28.44.1.x86_64 djunix:/home/src/kernel/Hamradio-addon #
You can safely forget about the 28.44.1. The most recent one should be
kernel-default-4.12.14-lp151.28.48.1.x86_64
If you have more kernel-* - files installed please let me know!
3.) now you can upgrade (still assuming that you are in the directory with the downloaded files):
rpm -Uhv kernel-default-4.12.14-lp151.28.50.1.x86_64.rpm
this will take a while, dracut will build a new initrd. Please reboot, this ought to work smoothly (I very much hope though cannot guarantee!)
Then you should load the mkiss.ko - module by doing a modprobe mkiss as superuser and you ought to be fine. You can find it in the directory
/lib/modules/4.12.14-lp151.28.50.1-default/kernel/drivers/net/hamradio
but you do not need to go there.
Hope everything runs fine! In case of _any_ deviation in the procedure described above, _any_ error message please write an email. And, on top of this, please retest my email address - I assume you accidentally made a typo .... somewhere. I am not aware of one single person not being able to send emails to me - but you :-(.
Take care,
Dieter

Hello Dieter How kind of you! Yes I would take you up on your offer, I think that would make it much easier for me. I have never tried building
