Is your TNC a single or dual port unit?  Maybe it doesn't matter, but it
looks like your mkiss command is lacking a second pseudo-tty specification.
If your TNC is single port, perhaps using "rxecho" would work better for your
situation than mkiss?  I have several apps sharing a TNC on my BBS; only one
of them is actually attached to the TNC, but the others talk AX.25 "directly"
through the TNC via rxecho on the appropriate shared interfaces.

Hope this helps somehow...
