Trying to set up KISS mode on a Tiny Trak 4

I am trying to set up a Tiny Trak 4 to operate in KISS mode as a packet
TNC. I have it set up to be a tracker right now. I have been trying to
talk to it through the terminal in Linux and I am missing something.
Could someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks

David, AC7DS

David, the KISS interface is designed to connect to BPQ32 and uses FLDIGI as a modem aka TNC. TNC (Tiny 4) to TNC (FLDIGI) is not supported. The interface is designed to except and transfer data from software using the KISS protocol over UDP/IP and to be transmitted using FLDIGI.

Best bet is to hook up a KISS TNC port on BPQ32 (set up as a node), and
have FLDIGI/KISS on another BPQ32 port.

I do this here with FLDIGI handling HF, and the KISS TNC taking care of
VHF. - Or both on HF, both on VHF, whatever you prefer.

There is an option on BPQ32 where when one port is active, the other one
cannot Xmit... This way, it is feasible to have two separate BPQ ports
utilizing the same radio. I have done this in the past, it takes some
tinkering but it does work. Kind of advanced, I used it for a short
while and went over to using separate radios for each port, which really
is best.
