If that's one of those parallel-port TNC's which require a special
driver, I would think your only shot at it would be to check whether
AGWPE supports it.  If so, run AGWPE on XP and have Xastir talk to
AGWPE to get to the TNC.

Very hazy, but I seem to remember reading about some kind of support
under Linux for Baycom modems, so perhaps one could get the Baycom
AX.25 driver working there as another option.
