Jim, Did you set the TNC into KISS mode? BPQ-32 does all the processing work.

I have a 9612+, and Ken's advice sounds good. When using the 1200b port, settings for software such as BPQ are usually the same that would apply to a KPC3+.? Channel=A should work fine. Also 9600 is probably best for the speed.
The TNCPORT section applies to the TNC Emulator feature, so applying the same serial port there may be causing a problem, but I'm not sure about that.

Hi Jim,

Remove the TNC Port section, and make sure you don¡¯t just need an A or B for CHANNEL.? I know KAMs only need A or B,
but not familiar with the 9612.

If you had the speed at 4800 when you put the TNC is KISS, that should be good, but 9600 is more common.? I think older TNC¡¯s
may on be good for 4800.

Give this a try.

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?

?? 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

?? TXDELAY=500?????????????????????????????????? ; Transmit keyup delay (ms)
?? SLOTTIME=100????????????????????????????????? ; CMSA interval timer (ms)
?? PERSIST=64??????????????????????????????????? ; Persistence (256/(# transmissions-1)
Hope some one can help.
