[Xastir] Serial KISS interface - long delays

[Tom Robson]

I was running ax25 for a years and then tried the serial kiss and it did 
exactly the same thing as yours a couple of months ago.  Never really did 
find the problem, went back to ax25 and everything works perfectly.  I tried 
a couple of different type of tnc's and they both behaved the same.  Not much 
help, sorry.
