The full command is "converse", but they provided a shortcut command
'k' to get there as well.  I'm sorry to hear that they didn't
implement the "conv" command in your TNC.

It's hard-coded right now.  We could change that at some point in
the future I suppose.

Are there any TNC's that don't accept the 'k' shortcut?  Anyone
know?  If that's implemented on everything, we could switch to it as
a temporary measure.
