For TAPR clones, the following applies: You get into KISS mode with KISS ON RESTART To get out of KISS mode is a bit more complicated. You need to send the three bytes $C0, $FF, $C0 (192, 255, 192) to the TNC to restore normal operation. I've seen DOS programs to do this, but haven't run across anything for Linux. It shouldn't be too hard to write code to to do it, however. You can, of course, reset the TNC completely by disconnecting the battery for several minutes. Some firmware versions have a tendency to drop out of KISS mode. I prefer to use a KISS-only EPROM, such as the JKISS image from the G8BPQ package. These only exist for TAPR clones, unfortunately.
