Chuck, Would you point me to the claims for fx.25 TNC compatibility? I do not see any specific TNCs mentioned.
I am real curious about this because 2 years or so I looked at doing some experiments with modified protocols using existing TNCs. All of them insisted, even in KISS mode, that the received packet be a valid and correct AX.25 packet. I went so far as to check the TNC-X code to see what changes would be needed to allow it to pass invalid packets but decided not to get into PIC development at that time. I like the streaming capability with multiple packets and the FEC code transmitted in one burst. The time delays waiting for TX stability have a big impact on throughput.
