Ya, never know these days, Gary. Seems like everything is made in
China, including this "IBM" brand keyboard I'm typing on now!
Here's the link to the web site for those who are not familiar with
this unit. Company is located in Las Vegas but that's all I know from
the Internet.

The KISS TNC firmware has been around since January of 2008. I am not
endorsing this nor do I know anything else about it. That's what
prompted me to ask. It caught my eye because of its relatively low
cost, small size and only draws about 40 ma. I was considering the
mobile / deployment possibilities.
Anyway, appreciate everyone's inputs and insights. If anybody has a
KAM+ they know of for sale, cheap, please let me know. Nothing further
from this end but comments are always welcome.

I have never heard of this TNC and would suggest caution.
I think you should look for anyone else that is using one and see what
they have to say first. I recommend the KPC3+ it is fairly small but
does cost a bit more.. you might be able to find one on ebay. I know
Ed Brookman found some about a year and a half ago for a really good
price.

Good evening to all,
Thought I'd check and see if anyone out there is using the Byonics
TinyTrak4 as a packet TNC. It looks like it has the capability and
seems to get decent reviews, but there's nothing like talking to
someone who is directly familiar with it. It caught my attention
because it is small and relatively inexpensive. Any comments are
welcome.
Thanks in advance and 73,
John AAR3CK
