RE: Netrom-Serial Configuration?

Hi Gary,
I'm not familiar with connection to the diode matrix, but are you just
trying to allow connections from TNC to TNC, from the PC to either TNC, and
with TNC to the PC?
If you have two serial ports on the Linux box, you can allow any of the
following using the PC as the switch between the kiss mode TNCs:
from - to
TNC1 - TNC1
TNC2 - TNC2
TNC1 - TNC2
TNC1 - PC
TNC2 - TNC1
TNC2 - PC
PC - TNC1
PC - TNC2
I'm not sure that was much help to you, if you want to keep the diode matrix
or only have one serial port.

Subject: [suse-ham-e] Netrom-Serial Configuration?



I wish to connect a SuSe linux computer, complete with
the AX25 ham radio stuff properly configured and working,
to a stack of standalone TheNet+ TNC's. The TNC's are
connected together via a diode matrix. In some of the
NOS releases, it is possible to configure a port to
connect the a "netrom-serial" port to allow use of only
one serial port in the machine, to connect to an unused
port on the diode matrix. Is that possible with LinuxNode?
If so, does anyone have the configuration? I am setting up
a SuSE Linux ham radio computer for my local club and they
use a stack of TheNet+ nodes on a diode matrix. It would be
extremely handy to only have to utilize one serial port on
the linux box to reach the various radio ports via the
diode matrix. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance.

73,

Gary, W7NTF
