What is a TNC amateur radio?
A terminal node controller (TNC) is a device used by amateur radio operators to participate in AX. 25 packet radio networks. It is similar in function to the Packet Assembler/Disassemblers used on X. 25 networks, with the addition of a modem to convert baseband digital signals to audio tones.
What is KISS protocol?
KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid) is a protocol for communicating with a serial terminal node controller (TNC) device used for amateur radio. This allows the TNC to combine more features into a single device and standardizes communications. KISS was developed by Mike Cheponis and Phil Karn to allow transmission of AX.

You need software to run this thing! AGWPE is the TNC emulator that uses your sound card for tone modulation/demodulation. Please see the reference websites above for configuration details! The second bit you need is a packet program that will work through AGWPE.
Are there any other sound card packet programs?
Since AGWPE’s groundbreaking development, other sound card packet programs for Windows have appeared. They include: Packet Engine Pro, a more advanced but “pay for” version of AGWPE, also written by SV2AGW
What does TNC stand for in Terminal Node Controller?
TNC stands for Terminal Node Controller. In basic concept a TNC translates certain computer files and commands into coded sounds. These coded sounds can then be transmitted via radio. On the receiving side the TNC translates the coded sounds back into computer commands and files where they can be used by the receiving computer.
