[Xastir] Config file for TM-D710A config script?

[Jarett DeAngelis]

Hi,

Okay, I must be really confused, then.  I have my TM-D710 connected via
serial-USB cable to my computer.  This is "serial TNC," not KISS, isn't it?

With that in mind, what do I need to give Xastir to get it to start up and
start reading data/submitting packets to the TNC?  There IS a necessary
configuration file, or there isn't?

Thanks!
