By jumbled, do you mean that the Incoming Data window shows strange
characters?  Perhaps you're trying to use the TNC in KISS mode but
using a normal serial interface in Xastir, or using the Serial KISS
interface in Xastir with the TNC _not_ in KISS mode?

Check the baud rate/parity settings in Xastir as well, in the
Interface->Properties section for that interface.
