ax25-howto
G'day Folks
This might be a real dumb question but how do I get ax25 to work on a Suse 9.3 PC.
The AX25-Howto is a little confusing.
I assumed with a late model Kernel the compiling a Kernel for ax25 is not required.
So I stepped on to the next stage, downloaded and installed the appropriate rpms for libax25, ax25-tools, ax25-apps and soundmodem. What to do next?
I have Gmfsk working fine on the PC so the soundcard radio link etc is working.
Any help to push me in the right direction would be appreciated.

I must agree as I have found it talks in some places about files that are not relevent to most distro's now and in fact are very out of date.
Now with the newer files such as the ax25-config, ax25-tools and ax25-apps, most of the how-to don't apply to the newer files and mainly applies the the old ax25-utils and such...
I'm wondering if someone will evenually update the How-to in places that does need some update to, but not all the How-to needs updating.

THe AX.25 and Ham Howtos are all horribly outdated - probably beyond recovery. I'm working on converting them into a wiki so everybody can start contributing.

Very nice!
I'm not exactly a guru or anything, but I have managed to get ax25, node, f6fbb and a couple other things running on the 2.6 kernel with Debian. So I'd be more than willing to contribute to a wiki-howto. Please send info when it is up and running!

Just for info, you don't need any ax25 support running to use Gmfsk. Gmfsk is a terminal program that sends sounds out on your soundcard to the radio. It would actually conflict with ax25 if you were using your soundcard as a network interface.
