+TNT, the hostmode terminal program needs a TNC with TheFirmware connected
+on a serial interface. There are some applications, where other
+configurations are needed:
+- The TNC or PR-controller software is not compatible to TheFirmware and
+ its hostmode, but does support KISS mode
+- The interface is not on a HF-frequency, but a TCP/IP-based network
+ (local net or internet)
+- TNT together with DPBox shall be used directly connected to a digipeater
+ using KISS mode (hopefully with CRC) as interface
+
+To handle these applications, TFKISS was written. It is in fact a port
+of the original TheFirmware by NORD><LINK, written for TNC2-hardware.
+The low level interfaces were changed and adapted to Linux. On the
+radio side a KISS- and an AXIP-interface take the place of the HDLC/modem
+interface. The host connection is changed to a direct console interface (for
+terminal mode) and a socket interface (for TNT).
