If you want to use a TNC, you just have to setup a COM port for that in 
the Options / Interfaces setup dialog. Set the right speed, data bits, 
parity, stop bits, etc... To check what settings to be used, you can use 
Hyperterminal, but it MUST be stopped before using the same port with WT 
(Windows doesn't natively allow to share a COM port between several 
applications).

To talk to the TNC, use the usual Alt-T window. You will get the raw 
data stream from the TNC in the Alt-O window.

Tip of the day : If you want to send an "Escape" char to the TNC, enter 
a Ctrl-E in the Alt-T window. It will be transcoded in an Escape char 
(Ascii code 27).
