- This software implements the KISS protocol for host-tnc communications.
-
- The first implementation of KISS was by Mike Chepponis K3MC, for the TAPR
- TNC-2 and clones. Mike Bruski AJ9X has supplied versions for the VADCG and
- ASNBY TNC boards. AEA has also implemented KISS in their PK-232. Code is
- also included here for the TAPR TNC-1 and clones, courtesy of Marc Kaufman.
-
- Files:
-
- tnc1*.* - KISS for the TNC1. See the tnc1.doc file for details.
-
- tnc2boot.* - boot loader which is burned into ROM. It replaces the
- original TAPR ROM and allows software to be downloaded
- into the TNC through the serial port in standard "Intel
- Hex" format. More notes on this below.
-
- tnc2both.* - a version of the boot loader designed to be overlayed
- on a 1.1.2, 1.1.3, or 1.1.4 TAPR TNC-2 ROM, allowing
- you to support TCP/IP and "normal packet" in one ROM.
-
- tnc2kiss.* - is the actual KISS TNC code which is to be loaded into
- the TNC through the serial port. The version in the
- file tnc2kiss.rom is intended to be put in an EPROM
- to make a KISS-only TNC2. The version in tnc2kiss.ovl
- is intended to be overlayed on a standard TNC2 ROM's
- contents (may or may not be supplied).
-
- tnc2test.hex - is a very simple test program that will flash the STA
- and CON LEDs on the TNC-2 at about a 1 Hz rate if it
- is successfully loaded.
-
- kissldr.* - Bob N4HY's program for downloading the KISS
- stuff to your TNC, written in Pascal. This showed up
- without docs in a bundle from Phil, do with it as you
- will. Procomm or similar on a PC works just fine...
-
- vdg_kiss.* - The source and hex for stock Vancouver TNC boards, along
- with docs on how to modify the source to support other
- similar TNC configurations. Read the .doc file for
- more information.
-
- ash_kiss.hex - KISS for Ashby boards, derived from vdg_kiss.*
-
- kiss.doc - the KISS protocol specification (in the doc directory)
