[Xastir] D700 Connection

[Keith Kaiser]

There is  no indication at all in the View Incoming Data that it sees  
the d700, the lights at the bottom of the screen are red indicating an  
interface is set up for that channel but nothing happens when I  
attempt to start the d700 dialog. At this point I'm still thinking it  
does not see tnc-startup.d700, I sure don't know why... I tried  
putting the full path to it in the interface setup but that didn't  
work either.

I know we are running out of ideas here but ........
