Please read and understand the first quoted sentence. The Flexnet people
decided not use KISS in favor of their own protocol and the use of 6pack.
It is their way to provide adaptive timing to the TNC. This is a design
feature, not a bug. If you prefer KISS with CRC, 2 ms timing intervals
and free selection of all common timing parameters, be happy with with it.
If you prefer a Flexnet driver with adaptive timing using KISS protocol,
instead of 6pack, why don't you write one by yourself?
[BTW, there is a KISS driver coming with PC/FlexNet, recommended for
use with wire links. It has CRC as an option...]
Funny, with your attitude towards alternative solutions, YOU call other
people bigots?
