10 1. What is 6pack, and what are the advantages to KISS?
12 6pack is a transmission protocol for data exchange between the PC and
15 6pack has two major advantages:
28 (however, this feature is not supported yet by the Linux 6pack driver).
35 More details about 6pack are described in the file 6pack.ps that is located
38 2. Who has developed the 6pack protocol?
40 The 6pack protocol has been developed by Ekki Plicht DF4OR, Henning Rech
41 DF9IC and Gunter Jost DK7WJ. A driver for 6pack, written by Gunter Jost and
43 They have also written a firmware for TNCs to perform the 6pack
46 3. Where can I get the latest version of 6pack for LinuX?
48 At the moment, the 6pack stuff can obtained via anonymous ftp from
50 there is a file named 6pack.tgz.
52 4. Preparing the TNC for 6pack operation
54 To be able to use 6pack, a special firmware for the TNC is needed. The EPROM
55 of a newly bought TNC does not contain 6pack, so you will have to
56 program an EPROM yourself. The image file for 6pack EPROMs should be

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