Gary,
I think your right. Now I do seem to remeber that was the way it worked,
downloading teh kiss code rather then the code being in eprom.
I got kiss working by just downloading tnc2kiss.hex and burning it.
Actually better this way since I only use it with Linux ax.25, on;t have
to bother starting kiss. It just comes up as a kiss tnc.
Thanks for the reply.
