We don't work with "The Firmware" at all.  KISS mode, if it's
implemented properly in the TNC, should work fine with Xastir.

No, you don't need that.  It is used to send a particular sequence
to a TNC7?   One particular TNC used in Europe that I don't recall
anymore.  Once a TNC is in KISS mode it should stay in KISS mode
until a particular sequence is received.

The easiest way would be to create a script or alias that you use
yourself for starting Xastir, which then calls kiss-off.pl before it
exits:


-------------------------------------------------
    #!/bin/sh
    /usr/local/bin/xastir
    /usr/local/lib/xastir/kiss-off.pl >/dev/ttyS1
-------------------------------------------------

Name it whatever you wish.  When Xastir exits, the next line will
get run.  Change the port to whatever port you're using.
