Changes to kernel ? I have never noticed such thing. The original ax25 code in
TNT had never heard about 2.2.12 kernel which I use :)

Have you tried "./configure --enable-ax25k" again ?
BTW: What TNT version ? I found compiling v1.1 quite confusing (I remember
that the biggest problem I had with it was that source was alpha1(?), I had
patch alpha2->aplha3 but was unable to find alpha2 patch anywhere :) )
Version 1.8 did compile without problems with axutils (on 2.0.x system).

That is simple - just use :c port_name:call (":c test:N0DE")

TNT is user software and IMHO it should compile and run without any need for
root permissions. Modifying kernel doesn't seem a proper behaviour to me too.
But as I said - I have never seen TNT to do that.

I like TOP (The Other Packet) DOS terminal and TNT is a bit different but I'm
getting used to it. What I found most annoying is that TNT can't save
backscroll-buffers on exit and sometimes I loose important information
someone wrote me.
