Bruce,
I can help with this part ... the *.INI file and the KAM+ MUST be
set to the same baud rate ... otherwise the TNC will not "init" ...
I had similar situations here with each rig/TNC ... but once I
matched up the baud rates (I use 4800 here) all works well.
One other thought ... make sure your MOUSE is not also using
COM1 ... some systems do that.
