    Hello All,
      I have searched the archives, but cannot find a solution to my problem.

    2 machines trying to talk to each other. One seems to work, one doesn't.

    Software config the same on each one - RedHat 7.3 with the ax25 libs and
    utils installed. Kernel recompiled to support ax25 and kiss devices.

    The machine that works is using a Kenwood D7A radio at 9600 baud in kiss
    mode. kissattach seems to work, and if I ping the other end of the radio
    link, I get the radio going in to transmit mode in sync with the ping
    packets.

    The other end, however is a different story. It's a Kantronics KPC 9612+,
    with no radio on the first port, and a 9600 baud radio on the second port.
    Minicom works fine, and I can connect to the tnc and send and receive data
    on the TNC. My problem appears to be with mkiss. Am I correct in assuming
    that I need to run mkiss because the KPC 9612 is a dual-port TNC? I am
    running the foillowing commands:

    mkiss -s 9600 /dev/ttyS0 /dev/ptyq0 /dev/ptyq1
    kissattach /dev/ttyq1 RADIO 172.16.0.2

    The commands are accepted, and a network device is create, but if I ping, I
    get no radio traffic at all.

    I am suspecting that I need to do something fancy before I go in to kiss
    mode on the TNC. At the moment, I'm just doing a mycall followed by intface
    kiss. Should I do something else?

    Any help is greatly appreciated. I've spent all week trying to figure this
    one out!
