Exactly.

It is not a one-time event, because going back to 1200 baud still shows the problem with Xastir and AGWPE.

I have to admit, at this point the interest is rather academic on my part since I got it working, the main purpose of me starting this thread is so that it's documented at least on the list archives, though mention on the release notes or other docs might be a good idea.

Come to think of it, I will go and add this to the wiki.

And also come to think of it, I have not tested the TNC-X's built-in serial port. I will see if I can do that next.
