[Packet] Linux & axports.

[KD7JYK]

The TNC output format is ASCII not AX.25.  AX.25 is a modified version of
X.25, an older computer protocol.  Try to configure your port to stay in
ASCII 4800 bd 8, n, 1.

Subject: [Packet] Linux & axports.


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

axconfig: port Port1 not active

and an error message box in xcall :

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
program what COM port I am using.

Any help please.

Doug VK3KDI.
