[aprssig] KPC-3+ KISS mode delayed packet issue?

[Greg Noneman]

Tom,

I fought was this problem for some time on my IGate. It wasn't a  
constant problem, and would surface randomly.

I eventually gave up trying to fix it on the KPC-3 and just went to a  
TNC-2 based TNC.  The problem completely went away.
