Hi Thomas,

Thanks for the reply.  Ok I have it working now. However the link I quoted above indicated that kissattach finds the relevant slave pts/? devices automatically, but kissattach (from ax25-tools-0.0.10-rc2) does not.  A quick diff shows some code in  Bernards version seems to iterate through the ptys.  

Should I be using Bernards code from 2005?  Or should I just update the linux-ax25 wiki to so that anyone else  searching for the information can find it.

Regards 
de John
