Well, I suppose that I can do that. :-) I was curious on getting APRS
working under debian, since I don't have a TNC. I was chatting with a
fellow ham friend and he mentioned a program that ran under windows
that would simulate a TNC. Well, I figured I could do the same thing
under debian. Seems like I was right! Basically I installed the
xastir program and now it's working. You'll need to download some
maps (see the /usr/share/doc/xastir/README.MAPS.gz for details)
and then set them up in xastir.
The next thing will be setting up a weather station, and purchasing
a kenwood th-d7a(g) ht in a few months. Everything is running
right now under the current debian unstable branch btw. I'll keep
everyone posted as things progress.
