Bleah.  That's bad --- xastir should complain when there is no file matching
the name given, not hang like this.  But there is no tnc-stop.kpc3, so that's
the issue.

Yep.  Just edit the file "~/.xastir/config/xastir.cnf"  with your favorite
plain-text editor (vi/emacs/nano/pico or whatever) and remove the
reference to tnc-stop.kpc3.  Should not be hard to find.  It'll be on a line
labeled "DEVICEn-TNC_DOWN-FILE" with "n" being the device number.  You can
replace it with "tnc-stop.sys" instead, which is a generic stop file that'll
work fine with the KPC3+.
