Good to know. In this same setup FBB and TSTHOST works just fine with my real
KISS TNC, so that is what has me scratching my head.
The top 4 bits of the KISS control byte is the channel number on
multichannel TNCs. So the displayed frame is either corrupt or is from
BPQ configured to use channel 15.

What is the default? Here is my port settings:
PORT
ID=KISS
TYPE=ASYNC
PROTOCOL=KISS
IOADDR=3F8H
INTLEVEL=4
SPEED=9600
QUALITY=192
MAXFRAME=5
FULLDUP=0
FRACK=7000
RESPTIME=2000
RETRIES=10
PACLEN=235
MHEARD=Y
PORTALIAS=DIGI
DIGIFLAG=1
MINQUAL=162
UNPROTO=QST-1
UNPROTO=MAIL-1,XXXX,YYYY-4 ; DEFAULT UNPROTO ADDR
ENDPORT
Also, I read in the docs that PAC2 should work with a COMBIOS driver,
so trieed ESS 1
and I just get garbage, but I am thinking it may be looking for 7bit
TNC or a different baudrate.
My TNC is set for 9k6b and is a KPC-2 that works just fine with these
other apps.
