[Xastir] Help, please...

[Anthony Brooks]

I am running xastir 1.3.2 and the start and stop files I have tried are
.sys .kam .kpc3

Any command that gave me an error was commented out, but still no go.  I
will try modifying one of the start/stop files tomorrow and see what I
can get.  Almost makes me want to get another TNC, if it was a pc, it
would have been gone a LONG time ago! :-)

What start/stop files are you using, and what version of Xastir?

Have you tried watching the View->Incoming Data window as you turn
on the interface?  You might see if some commands are getting
accepted properly by the TNC or are giving you an error message back.

You can tweak the tnc-startup.sys files to match your system.  If
you do that, rename them to something other than the default names
so that later upgrades of Xastir don't overwrite those files.

Also, if you come up with kpc-2 files that work, you might submit
them back to us so we can include them in the distribution.  There
is a kpc3 file there now which may be a good start for you.
