Hi, Seems not much activity on this thread? I have Suse 8 installed (Text mode) on a Pentium 200 with 32 Mb RAM. I want to get AX25 to work with a serial baycom modem for packet radio. My callsign is ZS6BNE in South Africa. When installing AX25 using YAST2 the software is installed , but where do I go from here? Is it nescessary to recompile the kernal as many of the "How to's" state? Any guidelines for the Baycom would be most welcome. I have installed LinPac which complains that the AX25 ports have not been set up. Looking forward to any comments and suggestions. (Please don't ask me to use the How to , I've been down that road and it is too complex. :o) ) I'm looking for a practical , working solution. Looking forward to your reply, Thanks, Eddie Leighton , Lichtenburg , South Africa.
