[Xastir] Xastir 1.9.9 help

[John Wilson]

I was just testing this two days ago. I haven't been successful as of
yet either. I was (or it appeared to be) successful in getting Xastir to
see the TT4. I have three USB ports and used a USB 2 Serial adapter to
connect to the TT4. I think I was having speed issues with the adapter.
Xastir appeared to be seeing data but it was delayed, not as responsive
as when I saw the LED light and Xastir respond. I think that delay, not
getting the first part of the packet is why I wasn't seeing any packets
come through. 

I used the Alpha config program and reset the firmware to the latest
from Byon's website. I have gotten too busy at work to lay any more time
into it but wanted to throw my test results out there. 

Additionally, I set the interface control TNC Port to /dev/ttyUSB0.
Initially, I had set it to /dev/ttyusb0 and had an error. Didn't
realized that the usb had to be USB (capitalized).

Hope some of this helps.
