I have installed the ax25-tools and done the kissatach and it is 
working. If I put something like "call ax0 yn1bbs" I got connected 
without a problem. But when I start Xastir it said that the stty0 is 
lock. I will go back to the program later to copy exactly the message. 
To run Xastir I have to start it before running the modprobe ax25 and 
kisattach commands.

How do I set an interfase in Xastir that used the kissattach port that 
has been created?

I will gladly wrote down what I have been doing so another person with 
more experience and less time use as a draft to feed the wiki. I happily 
will start again from scratch if I got guidance, to do all the writing 
properly.
