[Xastir] Tinytrak TNC not opening interface

[Eric Chamberlain]

Hey Curt.  I've seen your comments in the source code, thanks for your work.  I've used both serial TNC interface and serial KISS TNC interface.  Based on the /dev/cu comment, I guess it hangs because of blocking(?).  I don't believe there is a permission on that port.  I can apply a generic username (guest) in putty with the autologin username without problem.

Is there a debugging #define in the source I can build against to get more information while the interface is opening?

Which type of interface are you using in Xastir?

Did you add your username to the dialout group?

What are the permissions on the port you're trying to use?

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?
