Hello Andrew,
Looks like YAAC was getting the JSSC from the YAAC directory after all.
(
JSSC found at /home/pi/YAAC/YAAC/lib/jssc-2.9.2.jar)
I installed the package "sudo apt install libjssc-java". Restarted YAAC and saw it was now getting the JSSC from the system.?
(JSSC found at /usr/share/java/jssc-2.8.0.jar)
I tested the port configuration and it now opened. I also added a Serial_TNC and it worked (I don't have a serial_TNC) so it gave me a handled error as expected.?
