Hello Neil et al,
Nice tutorial, indeed.
Now, little bit OT...
Taking the opportunity I would like to point out that UBUNTU-12.04 LTS ax25tools-0.0.8-13.2 package UNFORTUNATELY contains recently re-surfaced netrom bug. Therefore for NetROM quality accounting routine to work as it should, it is necessary to apply changes emailed on this list by Paul G4APL on March 27-th and recompile netromd daemon.
Exactly the same, pertain openSUSE-12.3 ax25tools package.
Best regards. Tom - sp2lob
