None of the developers have felt the need (so far) to have configurable files to set up a TNC for KISS/take it back out of KISS mode when starting/stopping interfaces. If they had the code would have been written by now. Most people that run KISS TNC's keep them in that mode all the time for reliability reasons. Many people used to replace the factory EPROM with a special KISS EPROM that would do nothing else.
The nice thing about those EPROMS is that they don't mysteriously drop out of KISS mode unexpectedly. Unfortunately KISS EPROM images are only available for TAPR TNC2s and their many clones (MFJ, DRSI. Paccomm, Symek). These aren't easy to find anymore because some of the chips used have long been discontinued, however the Tiny-2 is still on Paccomm's web site. MFJ 1270s often show up at hamfests and swap meets. There are even a few TNCs on ebay right now.
