17 1. What is 6pack, and what are the advantages to KISS?
20 6pack is a transmission protocol for data exchange between the PC and
23 6pack has two major advantages:
37   (however, this feature is not supported yet by the Linux 6pack driver).
44 More details about 6pack are described in the file 6pack.ps that is located
47 2. Who has developed the 6pack protocol?
50 The 6pack protocol has been developed by Ekki Plicht DF4OR, Henning Rech
51 DF9IC and Gunter Jost DK7WJ. A driver for 6pack, written by Gunter Jost and
53 They have also written a firmware for TNCs to perform the 6pack
56 3. Where can I get the latest version of 6pack for LinuX?
59 At the moment, the 6pack stuff can obtained via anonymous ftp from
61 there is a file named 6pack.tgz.
63 4. Preparing the TNC for 6pack operation
66 To be able to use 6pack, a special firmware for the TNC is needed. The EPROM
67 of a newly bought TNC does not contain 6pack, so you will have to
68 program an EPROM yourself. The image file for 6pack EPROMs should be

73 don't know anything about it. I used a textual description of the 6pack
81 by 6pack. It is useful to replace TAPR, as this software is rarely used
85 and switched to 6pack, apply power to the TNC for a first test. The connect
89 5. Building and installing the 6pack driver
96 How to turn on 6pack support:
102 - Select the amateur radio support menu and turn on the serial port 6pack
128 - Do an insmod 6pack. Look at your /var/log/messages file to check if the
132   Check if the kernel prints the message '6pack: TNC found'.
136   the 6pack port is called sp instead of sl or ax. So, sp0 would be the
137   first 6pack port.
140 ALPHA. BE CAREFUL! Sync your disks before insmoding the 6pack module
148 transmitted. Under Linux, the 6pack layer is beyond the AX.25 layer,
149 so the 6pack driver doesn't know anything about connects or data that
160 the driver may, on certain systems, sometimes print the message '6pack:
171 this is a problem of the 6pack driver or something else in the kernel.
175 The 6pack protocol supports daisy-chaining of TNCs in a token ring, which is
181 the SLIP/KISS driver, from which the 6pack driver has been derived.
