FTP sunacm.swan.ac.uk and look under /pub/Linux/Radio, or just wait for the next Debian distribution which will include a turnkey kernel AX.25 system that you don't have to compile. By the way, maybe we shouldn't be making so much fun of Gerry's research grant. After all, it is TAMU's cash cow.

AX.25 in the kernel has nothing to do with encap under Linux if what the person wants is IPIP encapsulation. I have IPIP encap under Linux on 2 machines and sometimes I have AX.25 in kernel, sometimes not. This is assuming though that this is what the person really wants, the message was kinda vague. BTW, IPIP encap is done via a daemon on my system, not in the kernel like I wish it was :-) -- Ron N8FOW AMPRnet : n8fow@n8fow.ampr.org Internet : ron@chaos.eng.wayne.edu aa011@detroit.freenet.org ------------------------------ End of TCP-Group Digest V94 #238 ******************************
