In memoriam: Linux evangelist and Linux.com editor Joe Barr

07-11-2008 12:22 PM
Our colleague Joe Barr sometimes described himself as a doddering old geek. Many knew him as a Linux evangelist; others knew him from his ham radio activities. And those of us who worked with Joe knew him in all of his sometime irascible, often funny moods. Joe was always one of our favorite people, and we are devastated to report that he died at home, unexpectedly, last night.

rxecho

RXECHO(8)						   Linux System Managers Manual 						 RXECHO(8)

NAME

       rxecho - Route AX.25 packets between ports transparently.

SYNOPSIS

       rxecho [-l] [-v]

DESCRIPTION

       Rxecho  copies  AX.25  frames between interfaces without altering their contents. The purpose of this utility is to allow other AX.25 aware
       programs/computers to share the same AX.25 ports as the Linux kernel AX.25 code. It could be used to route packets out onto another  serial
       port  to allow another machine running DOS based programs to share the same radio ports as the Linux machine, or it could route packets out
       onto a pseudo-tty to another application on the same machine. The copying could even be to another radio port.

       The copying of the packets is controlled by a configuration file rxecho.conf(5), which can be set up to selectively copy packets.

OPTIONS

       -l	 Enables logging of errors to the system log, the default is off.

       -v	 Display the version.

FILES

       /etc/ax25/axports
       /etc/ax25/rxecho.conf

SEE ALSO

       axports(5), rxecho.conf(5), kissattach(8).
