[nos-bbs] Linux setup

[Chris]

JNOS2 wasn't the only thing in the packet realm I was running, so I
figured if the guy was picking a distro for packet use, I'd give him
the heads up.  JNOS2 seems to work "o.k." but others have had issues
on the list with 7.10 and JNOS2 as well, I haven't.

The FBB Ubuntu package panics and freezes the system.

flexd has issues with Ubuntu 7.10 for FlexNet routing

Userspace soundmodem is temperamental as well.

It all works, sorta, but in varying levels.

I was advised to downgrade to 7.04 I think it was, but I'm already all
installed for some time now.

I think I've mentioned it before as well, I've manually compiled
ax25-utils and the other base packages and had the same problems.

I'm not expert with packet, nor C language programming, I'm just a sys
admin.  The best I can describe the issues I've had, it feels like the
ax25 driver gets hung up.  I get intermittent performance, sometimes
it hears packets and transmits, other times it just endlessly retries.
 This happens with a TNC, it happens with either of two sound
interfaces as well, one that is wired to a sound card and one that is
independently contained.

The systems I'm running are all mutli-core current systems so it isn't
a matter of machine resources either.
