direwolf ACKMODE

Hari June 29, 2024No Commentsamateur, direwolf, winlink

i’ve found direwolf ackmode patch created by Jacob Lewallen,which is good for my winlink KISS tcp tnc.
i don’t know much about KISS server on direwolf, but by examining direwolf’s log, it’s somekind of handshaking
when transfering data from winlink express to direwolf’s kiss server and vice versa. Compiling direwolf ackmode patch
is straight forward.

first, clone direwolf from this repository.

git clone https://github.com/jlewallen/direwolf.git
cd direwolf
git checkout ackmode
mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..
make -j4
sudo make install
make install-conf

you can start direwolf using dw-start.sh script or using my direwolf startup script.
winlink express part: set KISS (packet TNC model) to ACKMODE.
