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). |
