If you're running AX.25 kernel networking for these TNC's, then in
your /etc/ax25/axports file, you can name each port whatever you
want.  It's the first parameter on the line.

I have one named "aprs" and another named "opentrac" in my file.

You then use those tags as the interface names in Xastir.

You could name them things like "14439" or perhaps "144.39" (haven't
tried that), or give them text names like I did.
