Of course, if that is broken then all bets are off for you.

Yes.

Yes.  I pinged 44.135.160.113 from an ampr machine over the internet
and got a reply.  I was also able to ping the non-ampr side of the
gateway from a non-ampr machine and got a reply as well.

I was also able to log into the mailbox at both the ampr and non-ampr
sides of the gateway.  There did appear to be several AX.25 machines
listed heard over several different AX.25 interfaces on the machine
so your RF path to the gateway just might be working.

I wrote the original code for NOS.  It was subsequently ported into
Linux by Terry Dawson.  I'm not a Linux person but there are several
people I know who have configured and use both the NOS and Linux
DGipip clients including myself.  You should be able to find something
around to read for whatever platform you want to use.
