Try "0.0.0.0" for the interface address. That will listen for any address on 
port 7300 (even if it changes).

I made an error when I first did an example a) because I am paranoid and I 
run several IP addresses on one interface (in the linux world :-) and I 
didn't want them all listening to port 7300 and b) because I wasn't thinking 
straight.

Er...

The maximum length of an AX25 callsign is 6 characters + an SSID. 

You can't have a length of 7 characters (not including the SSID) in an AX25
callsign. There isn't room for it in the headers. 

AGW engine AFAIK handles callsigns with ssid's correctly, if it doesn't this 
might be my problem.
