Once kissattach has grabbed a serial port, it's apparently not possible 
to do the "echo's" or minicom operations to that port without killing 
the kissattach.

No problem for bringing a TNC out of KISS mode:

   kissparms -x -p <port>

What would be very cool is a tweak to kissparms to allow sending text to 
the port.  Something like:

   kissparms -p <port> -t "^C\rINTFACE KISS\rRESET\r"

A quick and dirty dump terminal to talk to the tnc manually would be 
useful at times too..


So many projects...
