[Xastir] Tinytrak TNC not opening interface

[Jason KG4WSV]

Try the /dev/cu.whatever device special file. 

It’s been a few years but when I hit the same problem (well, Kermit not putty) switching to cu did the trick.

When I run PuTTY on the /dev/tty.usbserial-1430 port I can see packets coming in from a test transmitter.  I close putty and open xastir so the port isn't blocking.  When I go to start the TNC interface, in mac it hangs without messages in the terminal window.  On the putty it doesn't hang but there's nothing.  There are never incoming packets from the view data window.  Unfortunately, Byonics say they don't know much about xastir.  I've tried this both on my mac and my raspberry.  The cable setup works for programming and PuTTY, so I don't think its that or drivers.  I think it comes down to settings.  Is there anything I can try?
