OK, I’m on the road and brought my ASL experiment with me. (wires and equipment strung all over my hotel room!)

I have my 2 nodes running and both transmit CW ID and squelch tails when I key them up.

1. node 1500 is my VM client radioless. I can connect to it with iaxRpt windows app (w/ Wine)
2. node 1501 is my rPi w/ USB radio interface. I have COS and PTT working and audio levels set.  
I can ping each node from the other one, so I know they have network connectivity.

Now, the thing I’m missing:  
I want node 1501 to transmit when I ‘transmit’ to node 1500. (and vice versa)  
My two nodes don’t seem to be connected. (how can I tell?)  
I added each of the ‘other’ nodes in the iax.conf file in the [nodes] stanza.

Appreciate all the help!
