Dear Manos,
Following is a my script file to start ax25:
/usr/bin/startax25
This is the basic script to start the AX25 operation. No NET/ROM, ROSE and
routes are configured here.
#!/bin/sh
#Get rid of any locks
cd /var/lock
rm -f LCK*
#Set TNC in KISS mode
echo "Starting KISS"
echo -ne "kiss on\r" > /dev/ttyS1
echo -ne "restart\r" > /dev/ttyS1
# three seconds delay before restart of ax.25
sleep 3
#Configure TCP/IP. Are the /etc/ax25/axports set up correctly?
#Note the new command line format
#kissattach [-l] [-m mtu] [-v] ttyinterface port inetaddr
/usr/sbin/kissattach -m 230 /dev/ttyS1 1 194.229.49.136
#Configure KISS TNC
/usr/sbin/kissparms -p 1 -t 100 -s 100 -r 63
# Configure and start the beacon
/usr/sbin/beacon -c PA3BTL -t 25 1 "PA3BTL uit Purmerend, LINUX SuSE 6.2"
# start the ax25 daemon
/usr/sbin/ax25d
#Associate a call with a username
axparms -assoc pa3btl henka
#Start the mheard daemon
/usr/sbin/mheardd -f -l
# end of startax25

> Subject: How to Enable/Disable KISS mode in a TNC-2 with Linux?

> Hello everybody,

> 1. setserial /dev/ttyS1 baud_base 9600 (because my TNC has as serial port
> speed 9600, so I must change the default speed of PC serial port)
> 2. echo "KISS ON" > /dev/tnc
> 3. echo "RESTART" > /dev/tnc
> So, I did not see any STA and CON led flashing. (and the TNC was not in

> According to the manual of MFJ, it says the way to enable and disable KISS

> Disable: param <interface_name> 255 from the command prompt of JNOS).
> It does not mention anything about other software or operating system.
> Also, there is another method, according to MFJ manual, in order to

> Does anyone knows and nice way, like the one in JNOS?
