[Xastir] Tinytrak TNC not opening interface

[Brett Friermood]

  Eric,

If you haven't seen it yet, the quick start guide for the TinyTrak4 is
available here:
https://www.byonics.com/downloads/TinyTrak4%20Quick%20Start%20Guide%20v0.7.pdf
This as well as the full manual have a lot more information on
configuration, but here is a list of steps to switch it over to KISS mode
quickly:

- Configure Putty for the proper port and 19200 baud
- Cycle the power on the TT4 and watch for "Press ESC 3 times to enter TT4
Options Menu"
- Press the escape key 3 times quickly and the TNC will enter menu mode
- Type "AMODE" and it will output the currently configured operating mode.
(Most likely "TEXT" judging by your posted output)
- Type "AMODE KISS" to change the operating mode
