Problem:
I use minicom to communicate with my KAM (connected to cua0), when i start
minicom and turn the tnc on i see the copyright warning and the cmd:
prompt. I try connecting to a local station (n4hhp-4) which is about
5-10miles away and receing me full quieting and vice versa. Here's what
happens-
KANTRONICS ALL MODE COMMUNICATOR VERSION 3.00
(C) COPYRIGHT 1988-1990 BY KANTRONICS INC. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

cmd:mh
cmd:c n4hhp-4
cmd:~.``@@@`@`````````````@@@@@`````````@@@@@````@`@@@@@``````@`@@`@@```````@``.
(ok so i wanted to post one where it connected right away) so-
What?!?!? whats that crap? i dunno but it happens a few times until it
either: connects and sits there or does not connect at all. Every time it
transmits i get a line of crap on the screen, some sugest it's RFI and
some sugest i'm crazy. I know the TNC works because i have used it before,
i just was getting back around to play with packet. I have no problem
connecting to stations but once i do i cannot see anything i type just
those lines. Any ideas? ps: i turn mon off and it still happens
