Right now if the device is using MKISS and you have it on an Xastir
serial KISS interface, Xastir will transmit to the first interface
only.  I believe it receives from all interfaces though.

I've borrowed a KAM (and have had it way too long already) with the
intention of putting in a bit better support for the multiple ports.

The best way right now to support these devices is to use Linux and
AX.25 kernel networking, loading the MKISS driver and configuring it
for each port.  At that point, Xastir can connect to each AX.25 port
independently.  They look like separate TNC's.
