Setting kiss mode Kantronics kpc-9612+ on linux

Setting kiss mode Kantronics kpc-9612+ on linux

[Wijaya]

Hi there, I need advice and help, how to setting up kiss mode on linux use
tnc from Kantronics (KPC-9612+). 
I never setting up any tnc devices before. But I've succed to control this
device via minicom to connect each others and send/receive simple message
over it without problem.
I want to to set up 1200bps connection via port 1 kpc-9612p.
Both use Slackware Linux 9.1, kernel 2.4.22 with tnc installed  on serial
port 2 (ttyS1). 
Hostname on each pc is JASMINE and WIJAYAKUSUMA. 
JASMINE ip address 172.16.12.12 with ssid/callsign is RE4YGY.
WIJAYAKUSUMA ip address 172.16.12.8 with ssid/callsign is RE4SLO.
I read and follow AX25-Howto. Kernel was reconfigured and compiled without
any problems. AX25 Library, tools and applications was compiled perfectly
without any error / warning message.
Both configure simillar. the only different is name and ip address. But it
can't connect each others. 

ax25d message :
AX.25 port JASMINE bound to device ax0
nrconfig: port netrom not active
rsconfig: port JASMINE not active

And ax25ipd giving error message :
fetching tty device parameters: Invalid argument
Look at configuration below :

/etc/modules.conf 
alias net-pf-3     ax25

In some Kantronics TNC you set kiss mode by issuing the 
following commands:

int kiss
reset

Or just int kiss, and then switch tnc off and on again.

I was do it before as follow manual book.
But, what I need, how to make Linux connect this kiss mode with another
point. Both point is my network, so I have no one working for looking an
example.
