And didn't know how I did it afterwards to >repeat. A pair of hardware serial ports with a null modem cable works. I solved the same problem in WAMPES using a tun device. Took me one hour or so to get it up and running, much cleaner than this linuxish slip-over- pty crap. The tun device is a great feature of *BSD. You may take a look at the WAMPES package, it doesn't have that much features like TNOS but it's ok- it serves only as a ax.25/IP "router" for me between the ax.25 packet radio network and FreeBSD's IP stack. Services are all provided by FreeBSD itself. Fits to a plain KISS TNC or RMNC-KISS w/ CRC. You can find it somewhere on ftp.ucsd.edu, or always the latest (well, some days delay) on ftp://ftp-ins.etec.uni-karlsruhe.de/pub/hamradio/unix/wampes/ Compiles under FreeBSD, Linux (perhaps, my Linux port is old, I wasn't able to follow the rapid development and 1000s of different distributions anymore), HP-UX, Solaris, etc. 73, Olaf, dc1ik -- Argue your limitations, and sure enough, they're yours. -- Richard Bach, Illusions
