We don't use CRC-KISS or any of the other modified KISS formats,
just plain, generic KISS.  It's possible that TF2.7b cannot do that
particular KISS format.

You could always set up AX.25 kernel networking with that TNC in
KISS mode, get that working properly, then start up an AX.25 KISS
interface in Xastir.  That should work, assuming the "mkiss" module
in Linux can do your KISS format for TF2.7b.
