I did consult the HOWTO, and my commands are based on the ones you listed. I'm only using the 9600 baud port, so I only have a kissattach line for the second port. This is not working, however. What I wanted to confirm is that I'm correctly putting the 9612+ into kiss mode. I'm using a factory default config, with MYCALL set, and then INTFACE KISS. Is this correct? All of my configs work just fine connecting to the TNC in a Kenwood D7A handheld, but not the KPC9612. Thanks. ----- Original Message ----- From: "M Taylor" To: "Ian McLaughlin" Cc: Sent: Monday, September 02, 2002 7:29 PM Subject: Re: KPC 9612+ and kissattach > On Mon, Sep 02, 2002 at 04:01:58PM -0700, Ian McLaughlin wrote: > > Hello All, > > I have searched the archives, but cannot find a solution to my problem. > > > > 2 machines trying to talk to each other.
