I went ahead and added my userid to the wheel group but no effect. Also I ran debug level 3. It gave me the Opening a Serial KISS device output before hanging. I added some output to the source and remade the file to output the other serial variables, here's what came out.
Port Available 1 Opening a Serial KISS TNC device Dev Type 10 Dev baud rate 19200 Dev style 0 I'm going to look at what comes next after this add_device call. From: "Curt Mills" <curt.w...@gmail.com> The permissions are R/W for user/group/other, so I don't think you need to add yourself to the wheel group for this. Perhaps one of the OSX guys can comment on that though. I don't run OSX.
