Yes, KISS mode implies a TNC.

Any serial TNC will work (and require a USB to serial adapter).  The
TNC-X is a KISS mode TNC with a modern USB port, so you might check that
out.

The SignaLink is not a TNC, it's a sound card and the TNC's functions
are done in software.  Thus, there's no KISS interface (AFAIK) and thus
won't work with D-RATS.
