Hi Jean,

Kiss over TCP can be had in JNOS if you're handy with socat.  Socat is
incredibly flexible as I've used this for years to get around the AGW
single connection limitation in JNOS. Not for AGW but KISS over TCP
instead.  Since most soundmodems have TCP KISS or AGW that seems to be
where the dev cycles are spent these days.

Something like this works with systemd.

Create a file like /etc/systemd/system/vhfmodem.service

Change the port and IP, and dev name.   If you run jnos as a user you'll
need to chown the dev file after its created.

[Unit]
Description=1200bps AFSK tty
Before=network-pre.target
Wants=network-pre.target

[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/bin/socat TCP:192.168.200.200:9001
PTY,raw,echo=0,link=/dev/direwolf1200
Restart=on-failure
RestartSec=5s

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

save it,

run systemctl daemon-reload && systemctl start vhfmodem

The downside in JNOS is that its not very aware if the connection breaks,
so if that happens you'll have to restart JNOS and the socat link.
Its not perfect, but since the app didnt have kiss over tcp and or ability
to determine if the link dies and reestablish it.... this is how it is for
now until
something is there to fill that roll or perhaps someone has a better take
on it.  This will restart the process if it dies.  If you're handy enough
with systemd
you can chain up some more systemd scripts to handle the batch startups of
the dependant services and let systemd restart jnos.   I havent worked it
out that far
before I retired that effort on JNOS here.
