All of them.  There may have been some improvements between the
TH-D7A and the TH-D7A(G) w.r.t. KISS, but I don't recall hearing of
anything specific.  Last I do recall the TH-D7E and TH-D7A(G) still
have problems with KISS mode.  You can lock them up if you
send/receive back-to-back KISS packets or if the KISS packets are
too long.  The buffers to handle those conditions are just not
available in the TASCO TNC embedded in those devices.  I'd expect
the D700A to have similar problems in KISS mode.
