[Xastir] Serial KISS interface - long delays

[J. Lance Cotton]

More data points always helps. Now I don't feel so alone ;-)

I used to use kernel AX.25, but somehow, seemingly randomly, something 
happened that screwed up my ax.25 setup. I think I might have done a kernel 
modules installation that didn't include the ax.25 stuff. In any case, I am 
planning on re-doing my whole Linux setup in a few months, so I switched to 
Serial KISS as a temporary fix.

I believe that Curt fixed the similar issue that happened on internet 
interfaces last month or so, but I think there was some reason to not apply 
the fix to serial-port interfaces.
