Yes, there's a solution. It involves tweaking one file and
recompiling. Someone submitted a patch to the aprsd Sourceforge bug
tracker that solves the problem for Mic-E. The patch allows the
five unprintable characters that Mic-E uses to pass by ok on Linux
AX.25 ports.
I revised the patch slightly to pass all 8-bit characters as it's
possible to send any 8-bit value with user-defined packets.
I sent the modified patch to Chuck. Hopefully it'll appear in the
CVS sources soon, then perhaps a new release will come out with the
fix.
