A little digging around shows that it may be as simple as this:

   "Set your tncport to the name of the port from /etc/ax25/axports"

I'm thinking it was set to /dev/ttyS0 instead.  I'm not an aprsd user,
though, so I can't confirm.  I have been able to get Xastir to share a
TNC with either aprsg or aprx, but I haven't tried aprsd.
