Charlie and Charlie are working on that piece. I will continue to test
this stuff.
I am looking forward to a "light" box my self. I plugged another USB serial
device into the machine, it assigned it as ttyUSB02 now all I have to do is add
a TNC radio and mod the tables and I will be ready to go.

This is probably not a bad idea. Once C&C get a good simple one to release.
In truth once you have the base files done, there is not a whole lot you have
to do to add a new port, you make some entries in your ax25.conf and fpac.
conf files and you are up and running. 

Sure wish we had a port on that side of the state so we could link over the
internet until we get the RF path fixed. It is kind of rough being a island over
here.
