+<sect1>node.conf
+
+<P>
+For those of you that wish to run the node, you need to set up the
+node.conf file. There are a couple of additional files, node.perms is
+very similar to the way ftp permissions are set up in NOS systems and
+node.motd is the message anyone logging into the node will get.
+The node.conf file sets all the parameters of the node as you would
+expect. An example is below ...
+
+<tscreen><verb>
+# /etc/ax25/node.conf - LinuxNode configuration file
+#
+# see node.conf(5)
+
+# Idle timeout (seconds).
+#

+# Timeout when gatewaying (seconds).
+#

+# Visible hostname. Will be shown at telnet login.

+This should be fairly obvious I hope.
+
+<sect1>Getting it all running
+
+<P>
+Ok, now we have all the relevant files configured, the next step is to get
+it all running.
+
+<P>
+The first thing to do is attach the TNC's. Your TNC's should be in KISS mode
+and connected to the serial ports involved.
+
+<P>
+You now use the 'kissattach' command to connect the TNC's to the system like this ...
+
+<tscreen><verb>
+kissattach /dev/ttyS0 2m 44.131.96.199
+kissattach /dev/ttyS1 4m 44.131.96.199
+</verb></tscreen>
+
+<P>
+Assuming that 44.131.96.199 is your IP address. The devices ttyS0 and ttyS1 are com1 and
+com2 respectively. Now we can set some parameters ...
+
+<tscreen><verb>
+kissparms -p 2m -t 150 -l 150 -s 50 -r 50
+kissparms -p 4m -t 150 -l 150 -s 50 -r 50
+</verb></tscreen>
+
+<P>
+The command 'man kissparms' will give you the explanation of the switches.
+
+<P>
+Now we need to attach the NET/ROM ports in the same way ...
+
+<tscreen><verb>
+nrattach netrom
+nrattach netrom2
+</verb></tscreen>
+
+<P>
+All of the above can be put in a file and called from /etc/rc.d/rc.local. Put all
+the above commands in a file called rc.ax25 and put a line in rc.local to call it.
+
+<P>
+Now you can start the daemons that set everything in motion ...
+
+<tscreen><verb>
+ax25d
+netromd -i
+</verb></tscreen>
+
+<P>
+All should now be running. All that remains is to get the node working for telnet
+connections. If nothing else, this will allow you to connect to the node yourself
+to check on connection status etc. There are 2 files that need to be edited.
+
+<P>
+First edit /etc/services and add
+
+<tscreen><verb>
+node 3000/tcp #OH2BNS's Node Software
+</verb></tscreen>
+
+<P>
+Assuming you want it to run on port 3000
+
+<P>
+Now cd /etc/xinetd.d and edit a new file called node. It should look like this ...
+
+<tscreen><verb>
+# default: on
+# unencrypted username/password pairs for authentication.
+service node
+{
+ socket_type = stream
+ wait = no
+ user = root
+ server = /usr/sbin/node
+ log_on_failure += USERID
+ disable = yes
+}
+</verb></tscreen>
+
+<P>
+You now need to restart the xinetd daemon. First find out what the PID is
+like so ..
+
+<tscreen><verb>
+ps auxw |grep xinetd
+</verb></tscreen>
+
+<P>
+You will get a reply something like this ...
+
+<tscreen><verb>
+root 592 0.0 0.1 2256 620 ? S Feb07 0:00 xinetd -stayalive -reuse -pidfile /var/run/xinetd.pid
+</verb></tscreen>
+
+<P>
+The PID or Process ID is 592 in this case so now we can issue the command ...
+
+<tscreen><verb>
+kill -HUP 592
+</verb></tscreen>
+
+<P>
+All should now be operational and you should be able to log into the node by
+using a telnet session to the relevant port, like so ...
+
+<tscreen><verb>
+telnet localhost 3000
+</verb></tscreen>
+
+<P>
+If that works, you are just about there. you should (assuming you have radios connected
+to the TNC's) be able to connect out to other stations and receive incoming ax25 and
+netrom connections.
+
+<sect>Configuration
+
+<sect1>Allowing ax25 connects from users
+
+<P>
+This is dealt with in the previous section
