I have two dual-boot WinXP comps,  one with Debian 6.0.1a and the  other with
Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS.  Have been trying  to install nodes  at both of  them, so
they could be able to talk to BPQ32 box. I read  AX.25-howto and followed the
instructions, but all  that I managed  to do until  now was to make a partial
connection from  BPQ32 to  a Linux  box. I  mean, when  I try to connect from
BPQ32 the Linux end, I only get  a response of type "... Connected to <call>"
and   nothing  else   after  that.   (The  <call>   is  the   callsign   from
/etc/ax25/axports in Linux). On  the other hand, the commands /usr/sbin/ax25d
and /usr/sbin/netromd  both respond  that there  are no ax25 ports defined in
Linux, although I  have not had  any complaint from  a Linux box  after using
ifconfig and nrattach commands before trying to activate ax25d and netromd.

I'd like someone that uses either  Debian 6.0.1.a or Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS  with
successful setup of AX.25 ports and  BPQETHER  support  to  contact  me  with
details of his/her setup and basic  commands to configure the things. Btw, it
makes me wonder  if those two  distros of Linux  support BPQETHER per default
and/or if the command 'modprobe  bpqether' is sufficient for activating  that
protocol.  The same  question goes  for the  command  'modprobe  netrom'  for
activating NET-ROM capability in those two flavors of Linux. Tnx in advance.
