You seem to be a little confused, or at least it looks that way.
"I have it on my 2nd serial port tty01 @ irq 0x3f8."
Firstly its ttyS0 for the first comport commonly known as comm1 under DO$,
secondly comm1 is 0x03f8 (irq = 4)
You will only see tty01 with "dmesg", the device files are /dev/ttyS#
So normaly both ports would be detected as;
tty00 at 0x03f8 (irq = 4)
tty01 at 0x02f8 (irq = 3)
But are in fact called ttyS0 comm1
and ttyS1 comm2
If you wish to use minicomm to check if your tnc recives frames, then i
suggest you start minicomm with the -s option.
Choose "Serial port setup" with the arrow keys hitting enter will show
another window, typing "A" will let you change the seriel port setting,
after changing hit enter, select "Exit" then minicom should detect the
tnc, you could then (if you want) type "kiss on" and "restart" to enter
the tnc into kiss mode.
Now you could use the ax25-utils to start up you system with ax25 and
netrom if required.
