Subject: [bpq32] Kan 9612+ help #llinbpq

?

a newbie here looking for help getting my first packet station running, I'm use linbpq on a rbpi3+, trying to get it to talk to my Kantronics
KPC9612+ TNC but not having any luck. I have a USB/RS232 dongle that shows up as ttyUSB0 and I can use terminal ok to talk to the
TNC when it is in normal command mode, but after switching it to kiss mode and trying to connect using bpq terminal, i get invalidstream
from the TNC. Hoping someone has this working and can help me figure out what I have done wrong.
here is a portion of my config file I think is involved:
TNCPORT????????????????????????????????????????? ; Host Port
?? COMPORT=/dev/ttyUSB0????????????????????????? ; Serial connection (created by BPQ)
?? TYPE=KANT???????????????????????????????????? ; TNC2,KANT,SCS,DED
?? APPLNUM=32??????????????????????????????????? ; Last Application
?? APPLFLAGS=6?????????????????????????????????? ; Display Connected Message
ENDPORT

;? Port 1?
PORT
?? PORTNUM=1???????????????????????????????????? ; Port number
?? ID=145.090 MHz 1200 bps?????????????????????? ; PORTS command text
?? TYPE=ASYNC??????????????????????????????????? ; RS232 connection
?? COMPORT=/dev/ttyUSB0????????????????????????? ; Serial port
?? FULLDUP=0???????????????????????????????????? ;
?? SPEED=4800??????????????????????????????????? ; Serial port speed
?? PROTOCOL=KISS???????????????????????????????? ; KISS protocol
?? ;KISSOPTIONS=POLLED,ACKMODE,NOPARAMS??????????????????? ; KISS options for TNC
?? CHANNEL=1A??????????????????????????????????? ; TNC channel
?? MAXFRAME=2??????????????????????????????????? ; Max outstanding frames
?? FRACK=7000??????????????????????????????????? ; Level 2 timeout (ms)
?? RESPTIME=1000???????????????????????????????? ; Level 2 delayed ACK (ms)
?? RETRIES=10??????????????????????????????????? ; Level 2 max retries
?? PACLEN=128??????????????????????????????????? ; Max packet length (bytes)
?? TXDELAY=500?????????????????????????????????? ; Transmit keyup delay (ms)
?? SLOTTIME=100????????????????????????????????? ; CMSA interval timer (ms)
?? PERSIST=64??????????????????????????????????? ; Persistence (256/(# transmissions-1)

Hope some one can help.
