NETROM Oddity

[Gareth Howell <garethh@compulink.co.uk>]

Hi all,

Has a funny got into NETROM recently. I very rarely use NETROM but
today I tried to, and failed.

I netrom conn'd to a node, it only took 3 retries to get to him (two
hops away), but as soon as he accepted the connection my end told me
it had timed out? Thereafter, the other end continued to send me CONN
ACKs which my end sent back. This continued with the ttl going down
until the packet expired.

I later received a netrom Info frame with the BBS login (the other
station was also running NOS kh113014), which again I ignored (it was
RR'd at ax25).

Q: Shouldn't netrom at least deal with netrom traffic destined for my
own node?
