Each variant of NOS [ie: j, T, ...] has forked a bit differently, so
while much autoexec stuff is generic, the file is not truly
transportable site-to-site. As in the next question...

For the above to work, you better find a 4-port TNC and connect the
RS-232 wire to the /dev/ttyS0 port
AND the "0" interface to your HF radio tuned to a packet freq.
AND the "1" interface to your 6m radio tuned to a packet freq.
AND the "2" interface...
Now this is a challenge since the KAM 9612 is the only 2-port TNC I'm
familiar with [it works nicely for 1-1200B and 1-9600B path] but your
4-port example might need to be invented [say with some special
hardware].

After all the above is done, you now have four independently functioning
packet paths available to route traffic over on four amateur bands
probably at more than one baud rate... BUT all known to others by your
MYCALL.  There is more, but does that get you started?
