Michael,

I use a program called linkt. it will work fine with a port like ax0. I'm
not sure how it will work with your setup.

I use an mfj tnc in kiss mode and run a program called kissattach (comes
with SUSE linux) to provide the ax0 port to the computer. I don't know if
your baycom is capable of kiss mode.

Good luck with your endeavors to get this going. While packet seems to be
mostly dead in my part of the country, there are a few die-hards using it
for comm support in emergency situations.

Shouldn't I find the bc[0-3] devices in /dev? There is nothing.

With the newer drivers, the device is called bcfs0, etc. See
/usr/src/linux/Documentation/networking/baycom.txt (at least that is
where the file is for 2.4 kernels) for updated documentation.



Thanks Bob, now I got the bcsf0 device up and with a a bit of reading in
/usr/src/linux/Documentation/networking/baycom.txt I realized what module
I had to use. I can read PR traffic on the console now with the sethdlc -i
bcsf0 command, but I still didn't manage to run linpac (both 0.17-pre3 and
1.0pre4) successfully, so I can not transmit for the time being.
Do you have any more hints? Are there any other Packet terminals for the
console besides linpac? Unfortunately the ax25-tools and ax25-apps do not
compile on my machine.
