[Xastir] Interface glitch

[Darryl Gibson]

I got my antenna back up, interfaced the radio to the tnc, and my aprs 
station is back on the air! But I encountered some weirdness along the way.

I selected interface/add/serial-tnc, set my parameters, clicked add and 
the interface box reappeared, with no buttons. So I closed it with "x", 
reopened interface, and there was my selection on the list, I 
highlighted it, clicked on start, and nothing happened, but the buttons 
disappeared again. After waiting a couple of minutes, I tried to close 
it with "x" and it didn't respond. And the Xastir window wouldn't 
respond either. So I killed Xastir from the cli with CTR-Z.

I restarted Xastir, but the PID was still running, and I had to kill 
that with Top. Restarted Xastir, opened up my interface, switched from 
ttyS0 to ttys1, closed the box, and again no buttons to start the 
interface, so I 'x" it, reopened it, highlighted my interface, clicked 
start, and bingo, we were up and running.

No longer a problem for me, now that my interface is configured, but I 
thought I would send a heads up about it.
