KISS mode/AX.25 interface should be exercising the same code as
Olivier has been using, so hopefully you'll get similar results.

What I'd like to hear about is someone using a KISS-mode TNC but
with the Serial KISS Xastir interface, bypassing the AX.25 kernel
networking code.  I want to know if digipeating works well in that
case.

I could test that, but my home radio has bad finals, and there
aren't a lot of mobiles out my way to digipeat anyway.
