    John,

    last week, I bought the TH-D7E(G) with the new firmware (v. 2).
    I succeeded to configure it with mkiss and kissattach (no success with kissattach alone), RX and TX functional on 9k6.
    Small problem - it just receives two frames at once, the third one is rejected.
    I have still to play a bit with setup of USB-RS232 converter, which I believe, has the problem.
    Everything on Mandrake 8.2, kernel 2.4.18, newest libs/tools/apps.

    73,
    Milan OK1XH
