Post by Ray WellsHi Stef,
You haven't really told us much, some configs would be nice, especially
your ax25 start-up file, axports, and port.sys for starters.
Okay.

Post by Ray WellsDoes the problem occur using the call function or does it happen from
the bbs? You don't say if you're trying to use the bbs yet, only that
you want to get one running, and you don't say what the bbs is (or will
be). It's not safe to assume fbb.
Problem occurs when trying either a "call 2 vk5***" or fbb mail
forwarding. We have stopped FBB and tried manually kissattach and
calling with ports on console, with same results.
Post by Ray WellsDid you really try different O\S's, or was it just different Linux
distributions?
Yes O\S include Slackware 10.1, 10.2 and Debian 3.0, 3.1 and 4.0. both
2.4 and 2.6 kernels.
With regards to Windows using TSTHwin, the system TNC works fine.
Post by Ray WellsAlthough I'm using kernel 2.6.18-3 on the system here, I do have another
installation on a P166 with kernel 2.4.31 (from memory), and they both
work ok.
Both machines run Debian 3.1 (Sarge)
