Hello Daniele,

many thanks for your help.  I've tried passing all values from 1 to 7 with
'-w' in both modes (i.e. with '-m s' and with '-m e'), but axcall still
always gives the same error message.  Examples:

$ LANG=en axcall -m s -w 3 cb 13CB42
GW4PTS AX.25 Connect v1.11
AX25_WINDOW: Invalid argument
$ LANG=en axcall -m e -w 7 cb 13CB42
GW4PTS AX.25 Connect v1.11
AX25_WINDOW: Invalid argument

Do you perhaps have an idea what else could be the source of the problem?

Regards,
Karsten
