Help text

KISS is a protocol used for the exchange of data between a computer and a Terminal Node Controller (a small embedded system commonly used for networking over AX.25 amateur radio connections; it connects the computer's serial port with the radio's microphone input and speaker output).

Although KISS is less advanced than the 6pack protocol, it has the advantage that it is already supported by most modern TNCs without the need for a firmware upgrade.

To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be called mkiss.
