    Thanks for the quick response. I did consult the HOWTO, and my commands are
    based on the ones you listed. I'm only using the 9600 baud port, so I only
    have a kissattach line for the second port. This is not working, however.
    What I wanted to confirm is that I'm correctly putting the 9612+ into kiss
    mode. I'm using a factory default config, with MYCALL set, and then INTFACE
    KISS. Is this correct? All of my configs work just fine connecting to the
    TNC in a Kenwood D7A handheld, but not the KPC9612.

    Thanks.
