[Xastir] KISS over TCP

[Magnús Ragnarsson]

Hello

I'm new here on this mailing list. I have been testing xastir and I like 
it, as it is real linux program for APRS that works. I have been trying 
other software also.

I have microsat networked tnc, and they support KISS over TCP that is 
the KISS standard over network. It opens a new possibilities with new 
devices, like the microsat devices, argent data Tracker 4 and direwolf 
software tnc that all support KISS over TCP. You can then access the tnc 
remotely with xastir, from your home computer, or with aprsdroid that 
also supports KISS over TCP.

Is this something that would be possible to get on todo list in seeable 
feature as interface. I have some basic knowledge in programming with C, 
but no real experience and think I would not be able to do much though. 
I just took a quick look at the code in interfaces.c and there would be 
some coding for it, but also it seems to be some reusable code, as KISS 
parsing is the same, and the networking part is also just opening socket 
on a port and ip address. But maybe this is more complicated. Hopefully 
this is something that would be possible in the future.

Best Ragnards
