[nos-bbs] Connecting JNOS and the linux ax.25 kernel... possible?

[Boudewijn (Bob) Tenty]

Hi Ben,

I looked at the Pat Videos and you just create a kiss link between JNOS and Pat to reach WinLink or you can make the kiss link between Linux and Pat. It is just one of common ways these programs are linked for ax25.
You can link almost everything. Welcome to the list by the way!

My JNOS is connected to Direwolf and out to the RF world in that fashion.  I’d like to have a method for applications which are also running on the system to be able to send AX.25 traffic into JNOS for forwarding out the radio.  An example would be using pat (getpat.io) as an winlink messaging client, and to utilize the AX.25 path directly to forward from Linux over to JNOS via the AXUDP connection and have JNOS then send the traffic via RF to my next hop gateway.
