It is 7E1. If I configure 8N1, it is even worse.

It is all works OK in 7E1 in minicom and using the onboard serial port 
on the other laptop.

Well, while doing some further experimenting, I managed to get it 
working yesterday-evening .. by switching the TNC to KISS-mode. (and 
reconfiguring the interface in Xastir too, of course).

I guess what happens is that this forces the serial port to 8N1 and this 
seams to solve my problem. :-)

Hoeray!! :-)
