A simple coms program is handy for testing serial ports and TNC's.
Why KISS? So you can use the power of the Linux kernel and applications.

One comand and a one line config file gives me more than what I had using 
Flexnet32. I don't think I fully understood what user friendly was until I 
used Linux. I used to think that windows was sort of user friendly. No way 
would I go back to Windows now. I've been spoilt too much.
Enough of Linux v Windows. Back to playing packet.
