Those are for emulating a serial port, which will appear as
"/dev/soundmodem0".  You can then attach Xastir's "Serial KISS TNC"
interface directly to that filename.

If you configure with AX.25 kernel networking then you don't get
that in your setup but have to do additional things to bring up the
port before Xastir can connect to it with the "AX25 TNC" interface.
