<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Still dogging the Linux system, only have enlisted
the aid of a longtime linux user.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>My Geru has made it through the AX25 setup to 3.9 -
node.conf at which time he asked "what kind of node are we setting up?"
And I couldn't answer that question.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>So I looked through chapter 3 and decided I didn't
know what the goals were for the chapter.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>3.5 axports - setting up two rf ports. This
is more like defining the ports.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>3.6 nrports - setting up two netrom ports.
But why netrom ports? Again, this looks like a definition.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>3.7 nrbroadcast - sets up the netrom broadcast
qualities. But, points to the axports, not the nrports, huh??</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>3.8 ax25d.conf - control of incoming
connections. Since I haven't been able to follow the HOWTO very well, will
let this ride for now. Geru is confident he has this set ok.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>3.9 node.conf - "For those of you that wish to run
the node". ?? This is where my Geru quizzed, "what node is
this? Spider node? Netrom Node? Digi node? Do I need to
set it up [yes, no]?" All he got back was silence. Now I remember
why I requested the aid of my Geru a while back.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If someone could guide me as to whether node.conf
needs to be set up and if so, why, and which node this is, I'd be greatly
appreciative.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The setup will have two 2 meter rf ports and will
connect to another spider (k1xx) via the internet. Running red hat 7.3 (I
think).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks,</FONT></DIV>
