I used a KPC-2 until 6-9 months ago when I finally bought a kpc3+.

Here's what I used in my startup file:

#here is tnc-startup.kpc2
B E 0
DIGI on
ECho off
FLow off
FUll off
HEA off
LFadd off
AUTOLF off
MCOM off
MON ON
MResp OFF
MRPt on
MSTamp off
MYAlias RELAY
NEWmode off
SCR 0
#end

That's all there was to it for me.  I plugged the thing in, fed it this
startup file, and all was good.
