  OK.  So we've determined:

1) TNC->radio interface is OK
2) Serial link between PC running xastir and TNC is OK

So it's a configuration issue, and I probably can't help you.  I run all 
my TNCs in KISS mode.  I put them into KISS mode manually, and configure 
xastir without any 'startup' file.  Does the KAM+ support KISS mode?
