I've got the concept... Having trouble with the application.

    /sbin/ifconfig ax4 10.0.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.255 hw ax25 KEMPC-6
    /sbin/ifconfig ax5 10.0.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.255 hw ax25 KEMPC-5

In these two lines, are we setting up two new sockets or redefining parms for the two that we created with the kissattach?

I'm guessing that the line for fpac.conf goes in the applications block.

Last...
What is my fwd file connect going to look like?
Again, I'm guessing  - same as a connect to a BBS on a radio port.
