[nos-bbs] KISS help...

[Michel Beaudry VE2BCW]

Hi Jerome,

I have been running jnos2.0j on my Raspberry at ve2bcw.ampr.org for 
about a week.
It works fine and it's not dropping any packets.
I compiled jnos on the pi and only changed the attach line in my 
autoexec.nos
I am using a USB to serial converter and a older Kantronics all mode TNC.

73,
