Al,
There are a couple of places in the writelog.ini file that set up the 
packet connection to a TNC.

The [Ports] section sets the communication port speed, etc.

[Ports]
COM1:=9600,e,7,1,x
COM2:=9600,e,7,1,x
COM4:=9600,e,7,1,x
COM5:=9600,e,7,1,x
COM6:=9600,e,7,1,x


The [Packet] section sets which port is used for the TNC.

[PACKET]
PORT=6

Check to make sure these are set and match the settings on your TNC.

73,
Pat  KØPC
