Everything looks nearly identical to what I have, except I've changed the 255 to a 256 in the first line.  That won't make a difference.

Do you have the proper kernel modules available?  I've been playing with YAM modems a while back so there's at least one module you don't need here, but my lsmod looks like this:

     > lsmod | grep mkiss
     mkiss                  10272  1
     ax25                   67422  4 yam,mkiss
     crc16                   1715  2 mkiss,ext4

Make sure you have the ax25/mkiss/crc16 modules available and they got loaded into your kernel.
