If i may suggest this:

This has been discussed in the 'nos-bbs' mailing list before, if i remember
correctly the fault is in the kpc3+ itself, (even tho' Kantronics say
otherwise), so i would suggest you send a message to the nos-bbs mailing
list or addressed to Mike Bilow (sorry i cant remember his Email address),
as and if i remember correctly once again Mike had some useful tips about
how to obtain another Eprom (kiss only) which solves the problem, of garbage
being passed over to the computer.
I hope you will have some luck from there and here maybe, i have seen many
messages about this TNC.

xklfkht.ijnwz@tut.ac.jp
jjwgodq.aidoidgm@sprint-canada.net

I did find his address after all.
