As KISS is a difficult term to google, could someone with insight into this topic post a link to some more detailed information?

It’s a serial protocol to talk with a Terminal Node Controller so that you can use a computer to control and send AX.25 packets, rather than rely on the firmware in the TNC.

Most hams these days are using soundcard modems and not using TNCs.

OK, thanks, both for the key information (AX.25) and the link. I’m still stuck in the times where HAM radio was just speech, although I know that you guys do data somehow, but i thought it was more like a peer-to-peer system. That you’ve got a real network infrastructure there is new to me.
