[Xastir] Kenwood TM-D710 TNC Configuration question

[David A. Ranch]

Hello Joel,

I have a D710 running here in KISS most with Xastir and I've written up 
the whole process of getting the code, compiling, and configuring it on 
Centos5

1.  Check out Sections 7-9 of my HamPacketizing-Centos5 doc  (need to 
HTMLize this doc still)

      http://www.trinityos.com/HAM/index-ham.html --> 
http://www.trinityos.com/HAM/CentosDigitalModes/hampacketizing-centos5.txt

2. See my packetrig.sh startup script on how I initialize the radio, 
AX.25 on Linux, and Xastir
