I *want* to, but haven't got as far as you. Have noticed in ftp://ftp.ucsd.edu/hamradio/packet/tcpip/bsd there is a collection of diffs for putting AX.25 into the 386BSD kernel. As I understand this was the basis for AX.25 under Linux. The question is: How much support for AX.25 is available for FreeBSD? Anyone interested in creating missing support? I have thought the tunnel interface used by iijppp would be very useful for an amateur radio protocol stack. I understand TNOS runs under FreeBSD and interfaces to the native network stack via SL/IP on a pty. -- David Kelly N4HHE, n4hhe@amsat.org, dkelly@nebula.tbe.com, dkelly@iquest.com ============================================================================ The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
