Maybe that why I had some problems, stated below. With the updates I lost my xfbb loopback port and could not load the dual port tnc using mkiss. If there is something that I could read to make the transition from the old school to the new, please direct me. I have been running this software for many years now and have not done much in upgrades other than to transition to the 2.6.25-r1 kernel. I must admit that it is pretty solid running on a embedded Soekris SBC.
So, If someone is kind enough to point me to the correct documentation that details the required configuration changes please drop a line.

First, I wish to say thank you for all your hard work! I have been running FBB for many years now and really like the software.
Recently, I have been met with a couple of challenges. When I upgraded the libax25 to 13-6, I lost my FBB loopback interfaces. Guess I am old school and during the ax25 startup I defined two loopback interfaces:
# /etc/conf.d/rc.ax25 Create Loopback ports
/usr/local/sbin/kissnetd /dev/ptya3 /dev/ptya4 &
sleep 2
/usr/local/sbin/kissattach -l -m 256 /dev/ttya3 ax3 44.8.0.112
/usr/local/sbin/kissattach -l -m 256 /dev/ttya4 ax4 44.8.0.112
route del -net 44.0.0.0/8 ax3
route del -net 44.0.0.0/8 ax4
# /etc/ax25/axports
# Name Callsign speed paclen window description
ax0 AA6QN-9 115200 256 7 AXIP Link
ax1 AA6QN-12 9600 256 1 1200 bps Port A DE (pending)
ax2 AA6QN-11 9600 256 2 9600 bps Port B DE 439.050 MHz
ax3 LOOP1 9600 256 4 Loopback 1
ax4 LOOP2 9600 256 4 Loopback 2
Then in /usr/local/etc/ax25/fbb/port.sys where-as ax4 is the loopback
#TNC NbCh Com MultCh Pacln Maxfr NbFwd MxBloc M/P-Fwd Mode Freq
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 00/01 ---- File-fwd.
1 4 1 ax1 250 1 2 10 10/60 XUWY pending
2 4 1 ax2 250 1 2 10 20/60 XUWY 439.050
3 4 1 ax0 250 2 2 10 30/30 XUWY ax0
4 4 1 ax4 250 4 2 10 30/60 XUWY ax4
5 2 1 netbbs 236 1 1 10 30/30 XUWY netrom
6 2 2 0 250 2 1 10 0/60 TUWY telnet
#
This all works great with libax25-0.0.11-4 but not libax25-0.0.13-6
What did I miss? is there a new way to link FBB to the AX25 resources?
I also tried to update to ax25-tools-0.0.9-3 but mkiss did not load my dual port tnc stating it could not find the CALL. Same axport as above with ax1 and ax2 being the dual ported tnc. ax25-tools-0.0.8.2 does work:
#/etc/conf.d/rc.ax25# Attach Dual TNC with MKISS COM2
/usr/local/sbin/mkiss -s 9600 /dev/ttyS1 /dev/ptya0 /dev/ptya1
sleep 2
/usr/local/sbin/kissattach -l -m 256 /dev/ttya0 ax1 44.8.0.112
/usr/local/sbin/kissattach -l -m 256 /dev/ttya1 ax2 44.8.0.112
route del -net 44.0.0.0/8 ax1
route del -net 44.0.0.0/8 ax2
kissparms -p ax1 -t 30 -s 100 -r 63
kissparms -p ax2 -t 10 -s 100 -r 63
Once again, did I miss some changes in the configuration? The install notes were rather vague on syntax changes.
