Re: IL2P header has reverse polarity
IL2P is brand new to Direwolf and still is very much
Alpha.? Are you trying to use it with another Direwolf or NINO TNC
or are you just seeing these errors when you start Direwolf?

Re: use cron and dw-start.sh to autostart two instances of Direwolf?
This might get you pointed in the right direction ...
It has the advantage of the predictability of systemd for
starting/stopping/restarting.? Modify as required if you don't need
the kissattach component.

I'm having a heck of a time getting this to work.? On bootup, I'd
like cron to autostart two instances of Direwolf, one for VHF on
one sound card, the other for HF on a second sound card, and
restart either one if one of them crashes.? Cron starts both
Direwolf instances on bootup and they work fine, apparently
because there's no pause between starting the two.? But the
problem is that if I close one of the instances, cron doesn't
restart that instance after one minute.
To get cron to start two instances, I made two bash-scripts, one
for VHF (direwolf-VHF-start.sh) and one for HF (direwolf-HF-start.sh).?
The VHF script uses the default "direwolf.conf"
file; the HF script uses "hf.conf", configured
for 300-baud.? I editing the default dw-start.sh script and
changed DIREWOLF="direwolf" to DIREWOLF="/home/pi/direwolf-VHF-start.sh".?
I also have an edited copy of the default "dw-start.sh"
which I renamed to "dwHF-start.sh" and which has
DIREWOLF="/home/pi/direwolf-HF-start.sh".? I also
changed that script to log to /var/tmp/dwHF-start.log.
I set cron to run both dw-start.sh and dwHF-start.sh.?
All scripts are executable.
Testing cron to run only the VHF start-script or the HF
start-script works... it restarts Direwolf after one minute if I
close Direwolf.

The original request was looking for AGW compatible programs.?
Neither Linpac or axcall offer that today.

Re: use cron and dw-start.sh to autostart two instances of Direwolf?
I agree with using systemd vs. cron.
My only question is your cron file.? You are using separate lines for each script?
Since this appears to be a cron issue, you might post the actual cron lines in the file.? It would help troubleshoot.

IL2P header has reverse polarity
Hmm, I am seeing a message “IL2P header has reverse polarity” after I build on Raspian BullsEye. I did not see this message on Buster.
Does anyone know what this message in the Dire Wolf screen output?
Thanks!

Re: use cron and dw-start.sh to autostart two instances of Direwolf?
That should have been "more than one ADEVICE"
and "systemd" not "systems"
One typo and one autocorrect.?
Why are you running two instances? Direwolf can handle more than on ADEVICE at a time.?
Second, systems would be better than cron for managing startup and restarts.?

Yes, QtTermTCP is the only one I'm aware of.? I use it all the time to connect to my BPQ packet node.? The primary interface in QtTermTCP is raw telnet for connecting to BPQ, but it does support AGW connections also.

The original poster was looking for an AGW terminal which I assumed
they were looking for a GUI interface but then a different user
hijacked the thread asking for a CLI AGW terminal but I didn't catch
that.? Yes, Linux's axcall program should work for CLI needs but it
only works with Linux AX.25 stack.

For a GUI only option, check out John G8BPQ's
QtTermTCP multi-platform terminal program:
??
For a CLI / TUI only option, I'm not aware of any AGW-enabled
terminal programs.? I would love to add something like this into
Linpac but this codebase is so hard coded to Linux that it would
be easier to just start over and write something from scratch.?
I've heard of a few potential new programs that might fill this
need but I haven't seen any working code as of yet.
