	Depending on your wheere you got the ka9q code, you should be able
to follow the DOS installation as far as directory structure goes.
There is a difference in the config files, but only the name of the
files not the actuall commands. autoexec.net (on dos) has been replaced
with  startup.net (on unix).

	I have a "tuned" version of ka9q's tcp/ip code running on my
7300.. I have it link to my other 7300,3B2 and dos machines.
I also have it on the air, operating a 3 frequency tcp switch.

What problems are you having? I have been running the code for 
several years now.. Most of my work is "on the air", but I do slip 
link some of my other pc's, you can drop me some mail if you have
some questions.  I am not sure how usefull the package really is
over a slip link. YOu can ftp files around systems, adn email is supported,
but if your looking for RFS/NFS and other things ka9q packages
dosent have  it. Phil wrote the code with the amature radio 
community in mind. The source is available so you can change what you want.
the code is ever changing, there are many people making mods.
Soon, most likley before "DAYTON" (that end of april for non-hams),
there should be another offical release of the code with more enhancements.
