I  have  figured  out  the answer to two of theses questions,  and  I
am  getting  one half  of a  ping  so  far.  It is  making  the  ARP
requesst,  my JNOS is  responding,  but NOS  is  not recording the
whole arp response  in  the ARP  table.

KA9Q  does support  KISS.  It even has a way to  get my TNC back out  of KISS:

param tnc0  255  #  Works like a charm.

the  start command  is  #net.exe -a  autoexec.nos
