All ham-radio stuff.?? The error message could suggest otherwise.

Firstly kissattach did not complain about the syntax used, this suggests
that you are using an older (or obsolite) version of the utils.
2.2.xx kernels as supplied in Redhat 6.2 need the latest ax25 libs apps and
tools.
The error message means kissattach cannot do what it is told because there
is no mkiss support available, another comment here is IF you were using
the correct tools version you would have gotten a completely different
error message actually saying "No mkiss support in kernel or no mkiss
modules attached". Or something very simelar.
If you said "y" for MKISS_SUPPORT while doing 'make config' then there
should have been no problems, however you may have said "m" which is mkiss
support as a kernel module. Check in /usr/src/linux/.config for your kernel
compile options.
I will "presume" you said "m" and explain what to do;
edit /etc/conf.modules and add;
alias tty-ldisc-5 mkiss
This will only work if you said "y" to
Enable loadable module support (CONFIG_MODULES)
If you did not then before using kissattach do;
'modprobe mkiss'

Next time you have a question please include;
kernel version used
version numbers from libax25 tools and apps.
