[Dxspider-support] connection problems---need help, plse

[Mike McCarthy, W1NR]

What is in your /etc/ax25/axports file?

What commands are you using when starting ax25?

You might have to run client as root.  Change the user from sysop to root 
and see if that works.  Also, I use %s rather than %u.  I don't remember 
why, but there was a good reason for it...
