    The "kiss off" sequence in hex is 0xC0 0xFF 0xC0 and it can never appear
    in a valid kiss data flow. So there must be more than that to it if it
    really was happening in response to serial data to the TNC.

    Long ago I had a problem with a Symek TNC2S with the TAPR firmware that
    came with it. It would just reset itself after a while. But IIRC it stayed
    in KISS mode, it flashed the LEDs three times and forgot the channel
    access parameters... Anyway it was a bug in the firmware.
