The answer will undoubtedly be "/usr/bin/xastir" which is where the pre-packaged
Ubuntu xastir will be installed.
>>>It was "/usr/bin/xastir/"
Lots of folks are guessing that you've got a problem with permissions on the
serial port, but I am thinking that unlikely --- if you did a regular install
of Ubuntu, it set your group list to include the permission to write to the
serial port.

The issue is more likely with how you're configuring xastir. What startup
and stop scripts have you selected? What type of interface did you define for
it? Is the baud rate set correctly?
>>>Start script is the tnc-startup.d700. The stop script is the tnc-stop.d700.
>>>Interface is defined as /dev/ttyS0. Baud is 9600. Port is 8N1. All of this

>>>Maybe I need to check those.
You might want to try connecting directly to the serial port using a serial
terminal program for troubleshooting. I don't think there is any terminal
program installed under Ubuntu by default. I tend to install "cu", an ancient
thing that most folks here probably shun. I don't know any other preferred
Linux terminal program but I'm sure someone here will suggest a better one.
>>>I will see if I can get that and check it out.
