    It depends somewhat on the TNC. For TAPR clones, the following
    applies:

    You get into KISS mode with

    KISS ON
    RESTART

    To get out of KISS mode is a bit more complicated. You need to send
    the three bytes $C0, $FF, $C0 (192, 255, 192) to the TNC to restore
    normal operation. I've seen DOS programs to do this, but haven't run
    across anything for Linux. It shouldn't be too hard to write code to
    to do it, however. You can, of course, reset the TNC completely by
    disconnecting the battery for several minutes.

    Some firmware versions have a tendency to drop out of KISS mode. I
    prefer to use a KISS-only EPROM, such as the JKISS image from the
    G8BPQ package. These only exist for TAPR clones, unfortunately.
