> I've been working on a TNC for the PI. It is based on the TNC-X, shrunk to
> the same size as the PI, and with the RS232 interface replaced by a 26 way
> stackable header. The TNC communicates with the PI via the i2c bus, which
> allows more than one to be connected to the PI, or via the PI's async port.
> It can be used with any PI packet software that supports a KISS TNC. For
> i2c, I've written a driver the converts from the i2c protocol to standard
> KISS over a virtual serial (pty) port.

> roughly how many people are interesting in purchasing it. If you are
