Unless you're needing to send commands to the TNC like "USBKISS on" below, you don't need to set up ANY serial port parameters.  Xastir will do that when it starts up.  If the TNC can be left in KISS mode all the time, you're golden.

If you're sending "echo" commands you'll get the line end in there automatically.  See "man echo".  If you add a "-n" option to it then you don't send the newline.  In normal operation it will send it automatically.

Basically you need no script unless you need to go in and out of KISS mode all the time, or do some special setup like I do for AX.25.
