Would it be possible to allow connecting to the KISS port through the USB port/connector?
I know almost zero about ESP32, so I don't know if it is possible.
If USB is not possible, what about Bluetooth?
With either USB or Bluetooth a router is not needed to connect KISS to a computer or Raspberry Pi. This would make it easier to make a TNC connection.
Thank you for considering.
Arnold, KQ6DI

I was thinking either APRSIS32 or into Direwolf in a Raspberry Pi.
John Langner, WB2OSZ,

He has already come up with ways to interface to your LoRa iGates.
(1) As a KISS TNC over a serial port.
(2) As a KISS Network TNC over ethernet or WiFi.

but the serial port doesn't exist in your LoRa iGates, and Ethernet or WiFi require a router.

I don't know if this is possible, but it seems like a good idea in my opinion.
Thank you for doing everything you have done. Truly wonderful.

wait a minute, there is already TNC connection working with many apps... did you see the manual on the TNC part ?

check here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Hff_Szd7ks8RC7_RiV6POxPJlclbO05M/view

page 12 and 17...

Apparently I am blind. I truly thought all of that was through a router. Now I am going to try and see what I can do.
It might take a day or so.
I don't know about Direwolf, but that is a different issue.
Thank you again.
