You can connect to another station for keyboard to keyboard QSO’s as follows:
axcall 1 hiscall
where
hiscall
is the call station of the station to which you want to connect.

kissattach, it will take significantly longer for the Pi to send a valid connect string to
the TNC than it does in subsequent attempts. You may have to wait 10

15
seconds. Further attempts occur instantaneously. You can abort this first try by
issuing a
Ctrl-C
and then issuing the
axcall
command again. It will then connect
immediately.
