Hi all
First time poster here so be gentle :-)
Can anyone point me in the direction of where to start? I have an IP address allocated
from the portal, a shiny Linux server, 2m rig and an old KAM TNC that can be put in to
Kiss mode. What's missing is what to do and where to start.
Any advise very welcome and I look forward to some contacts over data.
Regards

Build a small TCP network and go from there. If there isn't one in
range, create your own. Ideally you'd have two fellow hams in radio
range. If you can't get them - build it yourself with at least 3 data
stations. Then you can hook that to the others around the world
through 44net or the AXUDP system.

I've got a network with 2 data stations - what am I missing? 73

Hi Andy,
I would install the ax25 utilities (packages) as with those you can
configure
your kiss and ax25 interfaces so that linux can talk to your tnc and other
packet programs.
Read the AX25-HOWTO, search for it with Google.
Most likely the old legacy devices tty/pty devices don't show up in /dev
of your
installed inux distribution and those are very handy to have.
You can use Unix 98 devices but the old legacy devices are easier.
(script wise)
Add pty.legacy_count to the end of the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT line
in /etc/default/grub (Ubuntu/Debian, etc) so that the line looks like,
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash pty.legacy_count=64"
run update-grub as root and reboot.
After that 64 legacy pty/tty pairs are added to /dev
I set up my ax25 interfaces from /etc/network/interfaces if it is
Ubuntu/Debian.
Later on you can setup your tunnel interface for encap/ipip routing to
other gateways
but it is the best to setup the ax25 utilities first.
Later on you can add packet programs like
jnos/bpq/fbb/Xnet,aprs,dxclusters, etc.
I run them all.
You can contact me off list if you have questions.
