TXTail wow !

According to the original KISS specification from 1987 the TXTail KISS
parameter was ... "This command is obsolete, and is included here only for
compatibility with some existing implementations". I would guess they
mean the TNC-1 KISS implementation.

You shouldn't need TXTail and the fact that the KPC-3 isn't responsing
just goes to show that they were serious about it being obsolete.
