[Packet] Linux & axports.

[Doug Laidlaw]

I am trying to get packet running under Linux.  At the moment I am=20
concentrating on getting my computer to talk to the TNC.  I can read the=20
TNC's copyright message with minicom, and sending a "connect" with minico=
m=20
keys the TNC, but when I start up xcall with the tnc running I get a mess=
age=20
in the Linux terminal

axconfig: port Port1 not active

and an error message box in xcall :=20

ERROR: No AX.25 port data configured

My axports file is as follows:

# Axports file
Port1 VK3KDI 300 5  Port1

I can't type in the Port field in xcall.  I am not sure where I tell the=20
program what COM port I am using.

Any help please.
