Integrated into standard Kantronics firmware as
of July 1987.
The AEA and Kantronics implementations are noteworthy in that the KISS functions were written
by those vendors and integrated into their standard TNC firmware. Their TNCs can operate in ei-
ther KISS or regular AX.25 mode without ROM changes. Since the TNC-1 and TNC-2 KISS versions
were written by different authors than the original AX.25 firmware, and because the original
source code for those TNCs was not made available, running KISS on these TNCs requires the in-
stallation of nonstandard ROMs. Two ROMs are available for the TNC-2. One contains "dedicated"
KISS TNC code; the TNC operates only in the KISS mode. The "download" version contains stand-
ard N2WX firmware with a bootstrap loader overlay. When the TNC is turned on or reset, it exe-
cutes the loader. The loader will accept a memory image in Intel Hex format, or it can be told to
execute the standard N2WX firmware through the "H" command. The download version is handy
for occasional KISS operation, while the dedicated version is much more convenient for full-time or
demo KISS operation.
The code for the TNC-1 is also available in both download and dedicated versions. However, at
present the download ROM contains only a bootstrap; the original ROMs must be put back in to
run the original TNC software.
