Well I changed this callsign to KC4HW and now I can get 
*** Connected to KC4HW

then nothing else.  No login or nothing.  I tried to disconnect this user 
from the console and it said that "N4JTP not connected locally"

Here is the:  kissattach /dev/ttyS1 VHF 44.xx.xx.xx

difference

I entered "call VHF n4jtp" and got a terminal screen so I typed some 
information and it arrived at N4JTP, who inturn replied and it arrived via 
the terminal.  

So I guess I can receive a connection via AX25, but the connection is 
not getting to the node.
